The pregame festivities set the tone for what would be a classic 2012-Giants-style win fueled by dominant pitching and a couple of timely hits. Go figure.
Joc Pederson doubled home LaMonte Wade Jr. in the bottom of the first inning, giving the Giants a quick 1-0 lead.
Two innings later, Wade Jr. knocked himself in, crushing a solo home run over the right field wall, extending San Francisco's lead to 2-0.
Webb was dominant and pitched like a few of the great arms that were out on the field before the game.
