Giants' Logan Webb carries no-hitter into 7th inning of 1-0 victory over Brewers

MILWAUKEE (AP) — San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb hadn't been pitching up to his expectations this season.

The two-time All-Star changed that in a big way Wednesday night, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning of a 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Webb allowed one hit, struck out four and walked one, leaving the game after he finished the seventh.

“I feel like I've not led the right way, just in my performance,” Webb said. “To be able to get healthy, feel better and throw the way I feel like I should throw every time, it was nice today. It was fun.”

Webb was making his second start since coming off the injured list after missing over three weeks with bursitis in his right knee. In his first start back, Webb allowed one run, three hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings of an 8-6 loss at Colorado.

“In Colorado, the stuff was so good, but it was erratic at times,” Giants manager Tony Vitello said. “He was in the zone and then out of the zone. It wasn't like he was wild by any means, but the times when he was out of the zone, they resulted in walks.”

That wasn't a problem Wednesday.

Webb didn’t allow a baserunner until Sal Frelick led off the sixth by walking on a 3-2 pitch that missed high. The only hit he gave up was Brice Turang’s single to left with one out in the seventh.

“He was incredible,” Giants catcher Daniel Susac said. “Not just in and out but up and down. Just pretty much anywhere he wanted all night. Even the misses were being set up for other pitches. It was really good. It was really impressive.”

Webb said he started thinking about the possibility of a no-hitter around the fifth inning.

“There’s a lot of voices going on in my head and I was like, ‘You have a no-hitter. You have a no-hitter,'” Webb said. “I know there’s like a jinx thing, but I was already saying all that anyways.”

Turang’s soft liner just eluded the grasp of third baseman Matt Chapman before going into left field.

Turang also was the closest Brewer to getting a hit in the first six innings when he grounded to third to close the fourth. Chapman went a few steps to his right to backhand the ball before throwing to first.

Webb retired William Contreras and Jake Bauers to strand Turang at first. The only Brewer to get into scoring position against Webb was Frelick, who advanced to third on a pair of grounders before Christian Yelich grounded out to end the inning.

Webb (3-4) threw 95 pitches and lowered his ERA from 5.06 to 4.25. He is 5-0 against the Brewers in his career, allowing 10 earned runs over 50 1/3 innings.

“I got like one pitch over the heart of the plate and that was about it,” Turang said. “When you’ve got command and (are) moving it like he is, it’s tough.”

The Giants nearly wasted Webb's brilliant performance.

The Brewers had runners on first and second with one out in the eighth before Keaton Winn came out of the bullpen and got Gary Sánchez to ground into a double play.

In the ninth, Yelich hit a leadoff double and was on third with one out and two of the Brewers' best hitters coming to the plate. Winn responded by retiring Turang and William Contreras to earn his first save since 2023 as the struggling Giants finally had reason to celebrate.

“That was fun,” Webb said. “It was a fun game.”

BERLIN (AP) — German airline Lufthansa said several employees were injured Thursday after the nose gear of a Boeing jet suddenly gave way while the aircraft was parked at a gate in Frankfurt, sending the front tip of the plane crashing down to the ground.

Only crew members and ground staff were on board the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner when the plane's nose fell ahead of passenger boarding for a scheduled flight to Los Angeles. The flight was later canceled.

“Several employees were injured and are currently receiving medical attention,” Lufthansa said, adding that it and relevant authorities were investigating the circumstances of the incident.

The plane is a year old, according to flight-tracking website Flightradar24.

Boeing said Thursday in an emailed statement that it is “aware of the incident” and "supporting our customer.”

Video from the scene appeared to show the front wheels of the wide-body plane sliding forward and the plane's nose falling down several meters (yards), as a ground crew member standing nearby quickly backed away.

The doors to the nose gear bay broke off upon impact.

A 2021 incident at London's Heathrow Airport also involved the nose landing gear of a Boeing 787. According to a report by the UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch, a 787-8 was undergoing maintenance at a gate when its nose landing gear retracted during testing, causing the aircraft’s nose to drop onto the pavement. Investigators found that a locking pin intended to prevent retraction had been inserted into the wrong position, allowing the gear to fold despite safeguards designed to keep it extended.

The 787 Dreamliner, a wide-body twin-aisle aircraft used primarily on long-haul international routes, first entered service in 2011. The version involved in Thursday’s incident can carry up to 296 passengers, depending on configuration.

In recent years, the 787 has been plagued by production flaws and quality-control issues, with shipments of the large plane temporarily halted on multiple occasions.

Issues with the 787 started in 2020 when small gaps were found between panels of the fuselage that are made of carbon composite material. That prompted inspections that turned up problems with a pressurization bulkhead at the front of the plane.

In May 2021, Boeing halted 787 deliveries while U.S. federal regulators looked over documentation of work that was done on new planes.

In June 2023, Boeing said 787 deliveries were delayed again while it inspected fittings on part of the aircraft’s tail — the horizontal stabilizer — after identifying a “nonconforming condition.” The company said at the time that the issue would affect near-term deliveries but was not considered a safety risk for aircraft already in service.
