Ohtani crushed a 91.1 mph cutter on Webb\u2019s first offering of the at-bat and the ball traveled 410 feet.<\/p>\n

Following his triple, Lee was called out at home on a fly by Casey Schmitt and a sensational throw by left fielder Conforto. The Giants challenged the call and it was upheld on review.<\/p>\n
