The Detroit Tigers closed out an eight-game road trip with a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon.
Eric Haase made the difference with his sixth home run of the year that came in a rather dramatic scenario. Of course, the two-run blast doesn’t mean much if Rony Garcia doesn’t give a quality start through five innings of work.
Garcia started out strong, winning a 10-pitch battle against Mike Yastrzemski, but Evan Longoria took him deep to give the Giants a lead before the end of the first. A one-run lead isn’t the end of the world, but the Tigers can’t afford to get behind early, especially after missing out on a chance to score early.
