Detroit TigersvsSan Francisco Giants
DET 3/SF 1
Things to say
The Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 in 10 innings at Oracle Park.
01
opener
Man, that was a grind. Nobody could hit at Oracle all night, then the Tigers finally cracked it open in the tenth. 3-1 Detroit in extras.
02
key player
Detroit's bullpen was the story — they came out of the pen and just shut the door in San Francisco, kept the heart of that Giants order off the board the whole way.
03
hot take
Look, the Giants at 49-69 aren't scoring one run and winning at home. That offense has been ice cold for weeks.
04
deep cut
Detroit's over .500 and steals a road game in extra innings on a getaway spot — that's the kind of quiet win that tells you a team's real.
05
exit
Anyway, extras always turn into a bullpen war. Curious who Detroit throws next series.
The recap
This one was a grind at Oracle Park, knotted up late until the Tigers finally cracked it open in extras for a 3-1 win. Both starters got into their stuff early and the pitching kept the heart of the order quiet through nine.
Detroit pushed across a couple in the tenth to steal one on the road and salvage the getaway day. Giants just couldn't scratch out enough offense at home and drop another to fall to 49-69.
