SAN FRANCISCO — Casey Schmitt homered for his first career hit in his major league debut and the San Francisco Giants beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Mitch Haniger drove in two runs and Logan Webb limited the Nationals to one run in seven innings. Webb struck out seven and allowed nine hits and a walk, pitching out of several jams. Washington left 10 men on base and went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Camilo Doval pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his eighth save in nine chances.
