After recording as many hits as errors last night on their way to their ninth shutout of the season, tonight they’ll have to face San Francisco’s ace, Logan Webb. The Mariners haven’t faced Webb since 2023, when he struck out 11 while allowing just two runs over 6.2 innings. Even for Webb, that’s a good line.His counterpart that day is also his counterpart today, Bryan Woo. He wasn’t so bad that day either, striking out seven and allowing just two runs over six innings. Woo’s looking to get his second half off to a good start after having some uncharacteristic fits and starts through the team’s first 98 games. Woo’s suffered some blowups this year, allowing five or more runs five times. But he’s also pitched four games where he hasn’t allowed any, going a full seven in three of those. The Bryan Woo we know and love is still in there somewhere.LineupsThe big news of the day is that Julio Rodríguez is back. He was activated this morning off the concussion IL, where he’d been since taking an errant throw off the back of the head on July 2. To make room for Julio, Miles Mastrobuoni was DFA’d again. Julio will DH tonight as he eases his way back. According to Dan Wilson, he may tomorrow or the next day as well—it’ll all depend on how well he recovers each day. While Víctor Robles has been covering centerfield in Julio’s absence, he’ll be on the bench tonight and Luke Raley will man center. That poor grass. Dominic Canzone will also play the field for the first time since tweaking his hamstring trying to leg out a single on June 21st.Pretty standard lineup for the Giants, except it’ll be backup catcher Daniel Susac instead of Drew Cavanaugh. Here’s a fun fact: Jung Ho Lee has a career .316 wOBA, but against the Mariners, it’s .516.Game InfoFirst Pitch: 5:08 PDTTV: FOX, with Aaron Goldsmith and Eric KarrosRadio: Old ReliableCeremonial First Pitch: Joel Piñeiro, winning pitcher of 2001’s 116th win
