SAN FRANCISCO – Of course it was Logan Webb who helped usher the good times back in at Oracle Park. A huge hit from Dominic Smith also was pivotal as the Giants ended their longest losing streak of the season and earned a rare victory at home.

Webb was magnificent the entire afternoon, spinning magic while leading the Giants to a 7-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday and helping San Francisco avoid a three-game sweep.

The unquestioned ace on a staff that has four Cy Young Awards among them, Webb (11-9) allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings. The right-hander had seven strikeouts, didn’t walk anyone and allowed only one runner past first base.

It’s the ninth time this season that Webb has won one day after the Giants lost.
