SAN FRANCISCO - Jake Peavy appreciated the effort of his defence. The Giants infielders were just as happy about his pitching. Peavy took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and finished with a one-hitter over 7 2-3 innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 on Saturday night. "Id walked a few guys so I was thinking about making pitches, just keep making pitches," Peavy said. "Any time you can beat a team in first place you feel good about what youre doing." The right-hander got the first out of the eighth on a nice backhand grab by third baseman Pablo Sandoval. Mark Reynolds fought off a 1-2 pitch, breaking his bat in the process, and flared it just over the head of Joe Panik into right field for the first Brewers hit. Peavy (3-4) received a standing ovation from the crowd after the no-hitter was broken up. He struck out Jean Segura and was taken out of the game. He left to another standing ovation. Peavy walked three, hit a batter and struck out eight. Jeremy Affledt gave up a hit to pinch hitter Lyle Overbay before Sergio Romo came on to strike out Carlos Gomez on three pitches. "I cant say enough about the defence," Peavy said. "It was a total team effort." Santiago Casilla worked the ninth, giving up an RBI single to Ryan Braun, for his 13th save. It was the second time in the past week that a Giants starter was this dominant. Madison Bumgarner had a perfect game through seven innings on Tuesday night against the Colorado Rockies. Justin Morneau doubled leading off the eighth for Colorados only hit. "That doesnt happen too often," Panik said. "To have Bum and Peavy come so close, its pretty special." On Saturday, Scooter Gennett made a bid for Milwaukees first hit in the seventh, but shortstop Brandon Crawford made a diving stop up the middle to start an inning-ending double play. "I knew I had the play at second," Crawford said. "It was more important to keep the ball in the infield." Crawford also robbed Aramis Ramirez of a hit in the fifth, going deep into the hole to grab a grounder before making a jump throw to first. "The two plays Crawford made were outstanding," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "When he made those plays it didnt look good for us." Peavy, acquired from Boston last month, took a no-hitter into the seventh inning Aug. 2 at the New York Mets. Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner with San Diego, has never pitched a no-hitter. He got his 2,000th career strikeout when he fanned Ramirez leading off the second. The Giants scored all three of their runs in the fourth off Mike Fiers (4-2). Sandoval and Hunter Pence singled to start the inning and Michael Morse drilled a two-run double and one out later, Crawford singled home a run. Fiers gave up three runs and seven hits in seven innings. He walked two and struck out nine.

"Im not doing enough to help them," Durant told The Oklahoman on Monday of his 28-9 team. "Im shooting too much. Im shooting too many threes. Im not helping them out at all. So its not on them." Westbrook has undergone his third knee surgery in eight months and Durant knows that he and his team need to step up in the star guards absence. "The first few games without Russell, we did a great job moving the ball," the 25-year-old, whose 29.6 points peer game is good for the best in the NBA, explained.dddddddddddd "I think now Im just flat out shooting too much. I have to find a way to get my teammates easier shots. Ive been thinking these last few games in order for us to get it going I have to do it all offensively. But, nah, we have to do it together. Its a great learning experience for me. Its the first time Ive really been in that type of position. But I just have to get everybody involved. I may have to pass up a few to find a better shot." The Thunder are back in action on Tuesday night when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies. ' ' '
