Eric Haase powers Detroit Tigers to 3-2 win over San Francisco Giants for series split

With one swing, Eric Haase put the Detroit Tigers on top.

Manager A.J. Hinch has vowed to give Haase more playing time, even with two-time Gold Glove winner Tucker Barnhart on the roster, and the decision seems to be paying dividends.

At least it did Wednesday, when Haase lined a second-pitch slider over the wall in left-center field for a two-run home run in the sixth inning. His fifth home run of the season snapped a 1-1 tie, leading to a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants in the finale of the two-game series at Oracle Park.
