SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.(AP) \u2014 The San Francisco Giants<\/a> were an out away from a perfect game and a strike away from a no-hitter before they were broken up by the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday in a spring training game.<\/p>\n

Giants reliever Gregory Santos walked Cooper Pratt with two outs in the ninth. The next batter, Blake Burke, delivered a run-scoring double with two strikes. Santos struck out Jos\u00e9 Anderson to end the game.<\/p>\n

Lefty Robbie Ray<\/a> combined with four relievers to strike out 11 in a 7-1 win over the Brewers. Ray threw five innings and struck out eight. He has a 1.23 ERA with 15 strikeouts over five starts this spring.<\/p>\n

Spring training no-hitters aren’t all that common. The Baltimore Orioles threw a no-hitter last March against Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

The pitching gem for the Giants comes on a day when multiple media outlets reported that pitcher Hayden Birdsong’s MRI revealed a Grade 2 strained right forearm strain along with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament. He’s weighing his options, according to MLB.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly not best-case scenario, but hopefully we get best-case scenario of the unfortunate circumstances,\u201d manager Tony Vitello said Sunday morning, according to NBC Sports Bay Area.<\/p>\n
