ARLINGTON (Interstat) — Logan Webb pitched six innings of five-hit shutout ball and Jung Hoo Lee homered twice and drove in three runs as the San Francisco Giants beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 on Monday night at Globe Life Park.

Webb improved to 7-7, striking out eight and walking none. He allowed no earned runs and was backed by an offense that scratched out six hits but made them count, including two sacrifice flies.

The Giants took control early. In the second inning, Daniel Susac reached on a fielding error by third baseman Ezequiel Duran. Drew Gilbert followed with a line-drive single to right field. Duran’s throwing error on the play allowed Susac to score and sent Gilbert to third. Osleivis Basabe then lifted a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Gilbert and giving San Francisco a 2-0 lead.

Lee extended the lead in the third inning with his seventh home run of the season, a fly ball to right-center field that made it 3-0. The Giants added a run in the eighth when Lee hit his eighth homer, a line drive to right-center. San Francisco capped its scoring in the ninth with a sacrifice fly by Lee that scored Grant McCray.

Texas avoided the shutout when Ezequiel Duran led off the bottom of the ninth with his 13th home run, a fly ball to left field. Duran finished 4 for 4 on the night and also doubled, accounting for the Rangers’ only run and the majority of their offensive production. The Rangers managed seven hits total, but Webb and three San Francisco relievers limited the damage.

Cal Quantrill took the loss, falling to 4-4. He worked six innings and allowed one earned run on four hits, striking out four. The Rangers could not string together rallies against Webb, who retired the side in order in the fifth and worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the third. Texas put two runners aboard in the third on singles by Joc Pederson and Corey Seager, but Brandon Nimmo popped out to end the inning.

The Rangers had another chance in the seventh when Duran doubled to lead off the inning. Alejandro Osuna grounded out, moving Duran to third, but Nicky Lopez and Joc Pederson struck out to leave him stranded. Webb had already exited by that point, with Sam Hentges taking over in the seventh. Hentges pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, striking out one. Keaton Winn and Reiver Sanmartin combined for 1 1/3 innings of scoreless work, and Tristan Beck allowed the ninth-inning home run to Duran.

San Francisco’s bullpen was nearly flawless after Webb departed. The Giants pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts overall, relying on pinpoint control and defensive support. The Rangers’ best scoring opportunity may have come in the third, when Seager singled with one out and Pederson advanced to second. But the Giants turned a line out and a pop fly into easy outs, and Webb escaped without damage.

The Giants produced their two sacrifice flies in key spots. The first came from Basabe in the second inning to score Gilbert, and the second from Lee in the ninth to bring home McCray. Lee’s two home runs marked his first multi-homer game of the season, and he also singled in the fifth to finish 3 for 4.

For Texas, Duran was the standout. In addition to his home run, he singled in the second, singled in the fourth, and doubled in the seventh. Austin Wynns also had a single, and Pederson and Seager each added singles. But the Rangers could not push a runner across against Webb, who leaned on his fastball and slider to keep hitters off balance.

The game was played in 2 hours, 51 minutes in front of an announced crowd of 23,736 at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The Giants improved to 48-65 with the victory, while the Rangers fell to 55-58.

San Francisco had lost two straight entering Monday, including a 5-4 decision at San Diego on Sunday. The Giants had dropped three of four in that series before turning things around against the Rangers. The Rangers, meanwhile, had lost four consecutive games heading into the series opener, including a 7-3 defeat at Houston on Sunday.

Texas will look to rebound Tuesday night when the two teams meet again at Globe Life Park. The Giants will send a starter to the mound looking to build on Webb’s outing, while the Rangers will attempt to solve San Francisco’s pitching after being held to one run on Monday.

Webb’s performance came on the heels of back-to-back wins. He beat Milwaukee on July 29, allowing two earned runs over six innings in a 16-3 Giants victory, and he defeated the Los Angeles Angels on July 24, giving up four earned runs over six innings in an 8-6 win. On Monday, Webb was sharper, allowing no earned runs and scattering five hits.

The Giants’ offense received contributions from up and down the lineup. Lee led the way with three RBIs, while Gilbert, Basabe, and Lee each drove in runs. The bottom of the order also chipped in, with Christian Koss and Nate Furman each drawing walks in the ninth to help extend the frame.

San Francisco’s defense also came up big, including a double play in the ninth inning that ended the game. With Elias Díaz on first after a walk, Cam Cauley grounded into a 6-4-3 double play, sealing the 5-1 final. The Giants turned two double plays in the game, both crucial in limiting Texas’s rally attempts.

Quantrill, meanwhile, kept the Rangers within striking distance early. He allowed a run in the second on the sacrifice fly, then gave up Lee’s homer in the third. Quantrill settled down after that, retiring the side in order in the fourth and allowing only a single to Lee in the fifth before leaving after six innings. Ben Peoples pitched a scoreless seventh for Texas, striking out one. Nolan Kingham allowed two runs in the eighth and ninth, including Lee’s homer and a sacrifice fly, while recording one strikeout.

The Rangers’ bullpen combined for three strikeouts and allowed four hits total. Texas pitchers issued four walks, two of which came in the ninth inning. San Francisco pitchers walked three batters, with Webb walking none.

The most important sequence of the game came in the third inning after Lee’s home run. The Rangers loaded the bases with two singles and a pop fly, but Webb induced Nimmo to pop out and then got Evan Carter to line out to shortstop, ending the threat. That preserved the 3-0 lead and shifted all momentum to San Francisco, which never trailed.

The game also featured a replay challenge in the ninth inning. With Jake Burger at the plate for Texas, the Giants challenged a call at first base, and the ruling was overturned when Burger grounded out to shortstop Willy Adames. That was the second out of the inning, and Duran followed with his home run before Díaz walked and Cauley grounded into the double play.

Lee’s two home runs gave him 26 RBIs for the season. He also raised his batting average with a 3-for-4 night. The Giants will face the Rangers again Tuesday, then return home to host Detroit on Friday.

Texas’s schedule does not get easier. After the two-game series with San Francisco, the Rangers host Baltimore for three games starting Friday. The Rangers trail the American League West-leading Houston Astros by a significant margin, and Monday’s loss did not help their playoff hopes.
