Lee was also sensational on offense Thursday, as he used his legs to put pressure on the defense, three times reaching safely on groundballs that never left the infield.

His second hit, a single that bounced off pitcher Logan Allen in the third inning, advanced Patrick Bailey to third base, where he later scored from on a sacrifice fly by LaMonte Wade Jr.

A 1-0 lead was all Webb needed, as he had everything working, including a two-seamer that was moving so much he managed to fan Grichuk looking at strike three right over the middle.

Webb’s fine performance lowered his ERA to 2.93 as he became the first big leaguer to reach 30 innings.

He’s also the first pitcher to complete seven innings in a game three times already this season.

The Padres’ Michael King, the Mariners’ Logan Gilbert and the Angels’ Tyler Anderson are the only pitchers to go at least seven innings more than once this year.

April is usually Webb’s worst month.

In his sixth big league season, Webb entered Thursday’s start with a career .283 average and .751 OPS allowed in April, easily the worst numbers of any month.

He’s now one of just 16 big leaguers to average at least six innings per start since the beginning of the 2022 season. And he leads all big leaguers in innings (439) since then.

Webb departed to start the eighth inning, when the Giants hitters woke up to finish this one with an exclamation point.

They loaded the bases with one out for Michael Conforto, but when the Diamondbacks brought in a lefty to face the left-handed Conforto, Giants manager Bob Melvin countered by pinch-hitting with Wilmer Flores.

Flores promptly smacked a two-run double down the left-field line to send the 26,896 fans at Oracle Park to their feet. Two batters later, Mike Yastrzemski poked a two-run single into right field to make it 5-0.

And for the first time since late March, the Giants won back-to-back games.
