Logan Webb retired the first 15 batters he faced and took a no-hitter into the 7th inning. He finished with only one hit allowed in the seven frames. Rookie Victor Bericoto got his first major-league dinger in the 5th and that was just barely enough. Two relievers gave up two hits and a walk but they managed to close out the win.
The Giants don't give us much to write about in 2026 unless you like doom-and-gloom. This nice, tidy, well-played victory means they won't get swept in Milwaukee. That's something!
Maybe Webb can keep it rolling and get back to being the top pitcher he was before.
Today's game is 11:10 Pacific; tomorrow they go to Chicago for a weekend series with the Cubs.
Go Giants!

Victor Bericoto was signed as a 17-year old out of Venezuela. His first pro season was 2019 in the Arizona Rookie League and Dominican Summer League.
He's played 667 games in the minors (and Venezuela Winter League) and has a career slash line of .281/.353/.447 in 2776 PA.
He mostly plays RF but has logged time in LF and CF as well as 1B. (Like we need more first basemen!!)
Bericoto was teammates with both Marco Luciano and Luis Matos on that 2019 AZ team. Giants 2019 #1 pick Hunter Bishop was also part of that squad. That's a lot of competition. Luciano is no longer in the organization and as far as I know still in the minors with the Yankees. Matos is with the Brewers. Bishop is still at Sacramento.
Give it your best shot, Victor! The Giants need some fresh energy.
