San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb opens up on recent pitching struggles as club faces critical stretch before the trade deadline Thursday.

The ace of the San Francisco Giants rotation has struggled to regain his usually elite form in the second half of the season.

Logan Webb took the mound at Oracle Park on a frigid Friday night with an opportunity to spell the relievers, to keep them rested for the looming tasks at hand. Specifically, the bullpen’s multi-inning relievers. He has proven himself capable, more often than not, of pitching deep into ballgames.
