One swing decided a pitcher's duel at American Family Field. Victor Bericoto's fifth-inning home run carried the Giants to a 1-0 victory over Milwaukee, snapping San Francisco's two-game losing streak behind a dominant performance from Logan Webb.
Webb controlled the game from the first pitch, allowing just one hit over seven shutout innings while striking out four and walking one. The right-hander threw 95 pitches to earn his third win of the season, carrying a 4.40 ERA. Keaton Winn closed out the final 1.2 innings for his first save of the season.
Bericoto homered to right center in the fifth inning, a 385-foot blast that provided the game's only run. The outfielder went 1-for-3 with one RBI, his first home run and RBI of the season.
Robert Gasser matched Webb's intensity through five innings, allowing five hits and one run while striking out five. The left-hander took the loss to fall to 0-2, with Chad Patrick following with four scoreless innings of relief for Milwaukee.
The loss ended Milwaukee's three-game winning streak. The Brewers remain atop their division at 37-21, while San Francisco improved to 23-38. Webb is 10 games away from 200 career appearances.
