San Francisco Giant (24-38) pitcher Logan Webb set the tone for Wednesday night’s win over the Milwaukee Brewers (37-22) in a shutout 1-0. This game was vintage Logan Webb; he was red-hot pounding the strike zone inning after inning. This was exactly what this team needed.

It was ninth place batter Victor Bericoto who set up this win with a solo home run. What is even more impressive is that San Francisco protected that slim lead through nine innings. Besides the great pitching the Giants defense was also solid. They kept the Brewers off base holding them to only three hits.

Game recap: The first four innings of this game was all pitching. Neither team had scored a single run. The first two innings were three and outs for both teams. San Francisco got going in the top of the third inning hitting three singles but coming away empty something they can ill afford to do right now. Logan Webb had more three and outs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings. He was red-hot from the get-go.

Through four innings both teams were looking for their first run of the game. San Francisco struck first when Victor Bericoto hit a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning taking the 1-0 lead. Now they would need some insurance runs because keeping the Brewers at bay could prove to be very tough.

Logan Webb would pitch through seven innings getting the job done in a big way. Now it was up to the team to hang onto the lead for the win. Webb allowed only one hit and one ball with four strikeouts. He had a tremendous showing and was relieved in the eighth inning by Erik Miller

Relief pitcher Erik Miller got into a bit of trouble putting two runners on base in the bottom of the eighth and was relieved by Keaton Winn after 1/3 of an inning. Winn got out of the eighth when the Brewers Gary Sanchez grounded into a double play with one out.

It all came down to the bottom of the ninth inning with the Giants still leading 1-0. It was up to Keaton Winn to close out this game and he got the job done. It got a bit shaky to leadoff the ninth inning when Christian Yelich doubled with no outs. A couple of ground outs, a strike out later and the Giants had hung on for the shut-out win 1-0. They finished the game with eight hits; the Brewers only had three hits.

Game notes: Wednesday evening the Giants took on the Brewers desperate to come out of this game with a win. They are already trailing in the series 2-0 after losing last night’s game 8-3. Tuesday night’s game was close going into the bottom of the eighth inning. That is when most of the damage was done, the Brewers scoring four runs.

This season has gone completely sideways for San Francisco. It seems that the team has tried to re-arrange the starting lineup numerous times but it has not helped. They go cold at the plate more often than not and it continues to happen over and over. The defense has been really good at times but there have been those games giving up steals and some really puzzling errors. The Giants got back in the win column be it as close as it was 1-0 it was their second win in their last four games.

Thursday San Francisco will be gunning to tie up the series in game four against one of the best teams in baseball. It will an afternoon game with first pitch scheduled for 11:10 AM. Adrian Houser will take the mound for the Giants with a 2-5 win/loss record and a 5.59 ERA. The Brewers will be looking to win the series and they will be looking to Coleman Crow to get the job done. Crow has an 0-0 3.14 ERA record.
