It seemed an inauspicious beginning as Webb allowed back-to-back singles to Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll to open the game. But as it turned out, that was the only real threat the D-backs mounted against the Giants' ace.

Webb got out of the first inning unscathed with two forceouts and a strikeout, then kept the D-backs off the bases until the seventh inning, when Christian Walker drew a one-out walk -- and was subsequently picked off. In all, Webb allowed just three baserunners and struck out five.

Webb's 19 consecutive outs against the D-backs were a career high, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. His previous record was 16 straight at Coors Field on May 18, 2022.
