MILWAUKEE \u2014 Logan Webb couldn\u2019t complete his bid at history, but for the first time this season, Webb looked like the leader of this pitching staff.<\/p>\n

In his second outing off the injured list, Webb took a perfect game into the sixth and a no-hitter into the seventh en route to delivering seven shutout innings in the Giants\u2019 1-0 win on Wednesday at American Family Field. While Webb couldn\u2019t deliver the 11th no-hitter since the team moved to San Francisco, he ended his night having allowed just one hit and one walk in his best outing of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I really haven\u2019t done my job as a leader,\u201d said Webb, who has a 4.25 ERA over 10 starts. \u201cI hate the word \u2018ace,\u2019 to be honest, but as the ace of the staff, I feel like I\u2019ve not led it the right way, just in my performance. To be able to get healthy, feel better, and throw the way I feel like I should throw every time, it was nice. It was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could say vintage Logan Webb, for sure,\u201d said manager Tony Vitello. \u201cI think even by his incredibly high standards, it was just a tremendous outing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rookie outfielder Victor Bericoto accounted for San Francisco\u2019s only run by hitting his first career home run in the top of the fourth inning, an opposite-field solo shot that landed in the Giants\u2019 bullpen. This marks the first time that the Giants have won a 1-0 game where the only run was scored on a player\u2019s first career homer since Darren Lewis did so on August 7, 1991.<\/p>\n

Bericoto, the Barney Nugent Award winner during spring training, plans to give the ball to his mom, Francis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that I dreamt about when I was a little kid, but obviously doing it in the big leagues felt a lot better,\u201d Bericoto said through team interpreter Erwin Higueros.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always great to see a guy get his first one,\u201d Webb said. \u201cAnyone can do one, though. I have one in the show, so I\u2019ll make sure I tell him that. It\u2019s always special when you hit your first home run. Games like this where you\u2019re the one guy hit a homer and you win, 1-0, it\u2019s really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The Giants (24-38) could\u2019ve very well ended the night with a third straight loss if not for right-hander Keaton Winn, who escaped jams in the eighth and ninth to record a five-out save.<\/p>\n

Winn entered for left-hander Erik Miller with one out and runners on first and second in the eighth and induced an inning-ending 5-3 double play thanks to an excellent play from third baseman Matt Chapman. The Brewers threatened again in the ninth when they put a runner on third with one out, but Winn retired the perpetually dangerous Brice Turang and William Contreras to secure his second career save.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeaton has been one of the more talented pitchers that I\u2019ve ever been around for a long time,\u201d said Webb, who refers to Winn as \u201cSkeeter.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s fun to just see his confidence keep growing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with Winn, credit should also be doled out to rookie catcher Daniel Susac. With the tying run on third base, Susac cleanly backhanded a spiked splitter from Winn that had wild pitch written all over it.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe 51-foot split. That was sick. I can\u2019t believe he blocked it \u2014 he didn\u2019t even block it, he picked it,\u201d Winn said.<\/p>\n

Webb began the night calling his own pitches via the PitchCom, but Susac took over around the third or fourth inning. Webb recalled how he initially called his own pitches when first working with Patrick Bailey, but eventually ceded responsibility to the former Giant catcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m very \u2014 I know what I want to do,\u201d Webb said. \u201cSometimes, that might be hard, but he did a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webb began his night with five perfect innings, and it was around the fifth inning that he allowed the thought of a no-hitter to enter his mind.<\/p>\n

The two-time All-Star retired the first 15 batters he faced thanks to some help from his defense. In the fourth, Chapman, shaded towards shortstop, ranged to his right for a grounder, then fired across the diamond as his momentum took him towards the third-base dugout. The following inning, left fielder Casey Schmitt navigated the wall in foul territory to flag down an inning-ending fly out, giving Webb five perfect frames.<\/p>\n

Webb\u2019s line was unblemished until the bottom of the sixth when he walked Sal Frelick to begin the inning. Still, Webb maintained his composure and retired the next three batters he faced to carry his no-hit bid into the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

After losing his perfect game in the sixth, Webb lost his no-hitter when Turang lined a one-out single into left field just beyond the outstretched reach of Chapman. Webb\u2019s 1-2 sweeper to Turang was down and away, nowhere near the strike zone, but Turang found a way to get under the breaking ball and flip it into left field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that there\u2019s like a jinx thing, but I was already saying all that anyway,\u201d Webb said. \u201cBut, I\u2019m gonna blame Tony, because he did call down right before I gave up the hit and said have someone ready, so I\u2019m gonna blame him today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite losing his shot at history, Webb retired the next two batters he faced to end his night on his own terms. Webb ended his night at 95 pitches, but if he kept the no-hitter intact, he was willing to go to Tim Lincecum-esque lengths to make history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would\u2019ve thrown 200 pitches,\u201d Webb laughed. \u201cI would\u2019ve asked for an extra day. I would\u2019ve thrown as many as I could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gage hits injured list<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Giants announced before the game that left-handed reliever Matt Gage hit the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 2) with right knee inflammation.<\/p>\n

Right-handed reliever Dylan Smith, who has made one appearance in the majors this season, was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Gage, who has a 2.63 ERA over 24 innings, has been a workhorse for San Francisco\u2019s bullpen. Entering play, Gage\u2019s 29 appearances out of the bullpen were tied for the second most in the National League.<\/p>\n
