SAN FRANCISCO -- A decade after carrying the Giants to the 2014 World Series championship, Madison Bumgarner returned to Oracle Park on Saturday afternoon and reflected on his legendary postseason performance that fall.

Bumgarner threw a four-hit shutout against the Pirates in the 2014 National League Wild Card Game, sparking an epic run that culminated in the Giants’ third title in five seasons. He followed that up with another 117-pitch shutout against the Royals in Game 5 of the Fall Classic and then came out of the bullpen to convert a five-inning save in Game 7, becoming the first Giants pitcher to capture World Series MVP honors.

All told, Bumgarner recorded a 1.03 ERA over 52 2/3 playoff innings in 2014, a feat that might never be matched now that starting pitchers aren’t being asked to carry the same type of workloads.

“I think guys still appreciate that,” Bumgarner said during a pregame ceremony celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Giants’ most recent championship title. “They want to be able to do that, too. You look at [Logan Webb], you know he wants to do that.”

Webb went on to display his own workhorse mentality hours later, striking out eight over seven innings of one-run ball to propel the Giants to a 3-1 win over the Tigers at Oracle Park. San Francisco (61-58) has won four in a row and 13 of its past 17 to climb a season-high three games over .500 and pulled to within 1 1/2 games back of the Braves for the final NL Wild Card spot.

Webb surrendered only four hits and walked one en route to completing seven innings for the 13th time this season, lowering his ERA to 3.32 over a Major League-high 157 innings. The lone damage against him came in the fifth, when Parker Meadows tripled and scored on Dillon Dingler’s grounder to short.

While Webb was dialed in on the mound, he admitted he was a little distracted during his pregame routine, as he was warming up on the field during the reunion ceremony and paused several times to hear from players like Bumgarner, who was in his final season with the Giants when Webb debuted in 2019.

“If I can get props from that guy, I think that’s really cool,” said Webb, who has allowed only two runs over 21 2/3 innings (0.83 ERA) across his past three starts. “You guys have heard me say this so many times, but I came up with those guys that threw every five days and threw a lot of innings. I want to be like all of those guys.”

The Giants were no-hit through the first four innings by Alex Faedo and Brant Hurter, but their bats finally got going in the fifth, when Mike Yastrzemski and Jerar Encarnacion delivered back-to-back singles to set up Brett Wisely’s two-run double down the right-field line. Heliot Ramos then added an insurance run with an RBI single to center field.

Webb was tested in the sixth after Justyn-Henry Malloy doubled and Gio Urshela walked to put a pair of runners on with two outs, but he got out of the jam with the help of third baseman Matt Chapman, who made a leaping grab to snare Bligh Madris’ soft liner to shallow left field and end the inning.

“I’m just in the moment, trying to save runs,” Chapman said. “If that ball gets over my head, they score, and probably the other runner gets to third base. We weren’t necessarily tearing the cover off the ball today, so to be able to save some runs like that is huge.”

“It’s unbelievable,” Webb said. “I don’t think many guys in baseball make those plays. It’s fun to pitch with him out there.”

Ryan Walker, who is expected to serve as the new Giants closer in place of the recently demoted Camilo Doval, struck out Javier Báez swinging to leave a pair of runners stranded in the top of the ninth and convert his first save of the season.

Webb said the Giants hope to keep drawing inspiration from the 2014 World Series champions as they continue their playoff push this summer. San Francisco’s pitching staff leads the NL with a 3.09 ERA since July 26, which could make the club a force down the stretch.

“Those guys are what we try to be,” Webb said. “That’s what we strive to be. Hopefully 10 years from now, I’m coming back and sitting on those chairs -- hopefully, I’m still playing -- but I hope to be in that position someday, coming back here and enjoying this. That’s what we’re all trying to do. We feed off of that. The whole clubhouse feeds off of that.”
