Logan Webb set a SFGiants’ OpeningDay record with 12 strikeouts, but it wasn’t enough as the Yankees won the series-opener.
His 12 strikeouts were the most by a Giants starter on Opening Day, passing the 11 Arizona Diamondbacks that Madison Bumgarner whiffed in 2017 on a day he also hit two homers.
Webb was charged with four earned runs in six-plus innings, but deserved better. Two came when Gleyber Torres found the short porch in right field in the fourth inning, and the final one scored after Webb walked the leadoff batter in the seventh and then departed.Cole also set a franchise record for most strikeouts on Opening Day, and he did it by the fourth inning. LaMonte Wade Jr.
Per ESPN Stats & Info, he's the first player to strike out six in the first two innings of his team's opener since 1957, which is when Elias Sports started tracking it. He might be the first to ever do it. Cole got two more in the third, and when he threw a slider past Joc Pederson with one out in the fourth, he had his ninth strikeout and a share of the record. Mike Yastrzemski promptly went down on a changeup as Cole reached double-digits.
