Logan Webb Leads Giants in Near-No-Hitter: A Resurgence for the Team

Logan Webb of the San Francisco Giants delivered an impressive performance against the Milwaukee Brewers, coming close to a no-hitter in a 1-0 victory. Webb, who joked about typically leading the league in hits given up, was thrilled with the win. The game also featured rookie Victor Bericoto’s first career home run, helping the Giants secure their first victory of the 2026 season with two or fewer runs.

Webb maintained a perfect game until the sixth inning, eventually allowing a leadoff walk, which broke his perfect game bid. Despite this, Webb carried on, recording the longest no-hit bid of his career before giving up a hit in the seventh inning. Reflecting on the game, Webb shared that he started thinking about a no-hitter in the fifth inning and laughed, attributing the hit he gave up to a possible jinx from the team manager.

Returning from a knee injury, Webb showcased his prowess on the mound, allowing just one earned run over two starts. His performance left an impact on Giants manager Tony Vitello, who was in constant communication with the coaching staff to determine Webb’s pitch count and innings. Webb acknowledged that he was prepared to throw up to 200 pitches if the no-hitter was still intact, showcasing his dedication to the game and the team.

Ultimately, Webb pitched seven strong innings before being relieved by Keaton Winn, who secured a five-out save to seal the victory. Webb’s exceptional performance demonstrated his leadership and ace-level skills, instilling confidence in the Giants’ pitching rotation. For Webb, the game marked a return to form, solidifying his role as a leader within the team and boosting team morale.
