Webb (12-9) earned the win against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five across six innings.
Webb was able to log five punchouts despite generating just seven whiffs on 94 pitches (58 strikes). He allowed at least one base runner in five of the six innings he tossed, but he managed to limit the damage to a Caleb Durbin RBI double in the second frame. Webb is now up to 18 quality starts on the season, which is tied with Cristopher Sanchez for second most in the majors behind Bryan Woo (19). Webb also ranks fourth in the majors with 180 strikeouts, and his 3.13 ERA (over 166.2 innings) is 17th among qualified starters.

Giants' Carson Whisenhunt: Falls apart after strong opening
Rotowire
Whisenhunt didn't factor into the decision against the Brewers on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings.
The rookie left-hander cruised through the first three frames, allowing only two hits, before unraveling in the fourth as the Brewers pushed across two runs, including one on a wild pitch. Whisenhunt has struggled to find his footing at the big-league level, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across 18.1 innings this season, but he appears likely to remain in the rotation until Landen Roupp (knee) returns.
Thursday's MRI revealed Roupp has a bone bruise in his left knee, and the pitcher will seek out a second opinion, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It's a generally positive result for Roupp, who was struck by a comebacker and fell awkwardly during Wednesday's start before requiring a cart to exit the field of play. While Roupp is on the IL, Carson Whisenhunt should fill the open spot in the rotation.
