Miguel Cabrera's walk-off single in the 11th inning was the last push for the Detroit Tigers, who rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Giants 7-6.
“We were going to go after Rogers with righties — Nevin was already on deck — but once we got the runner to third with the wild pitch, we were all confident that Miggy was going to get it done," Hinch said.“He got a ground ball, which is tough to do against any pinch hitter, much less a guy who is one of the best hitters of all time,” Kapler said.
“I know because I've faced him before,” said Baez, who went 1-2 with a homer in their last meeting in 2019. “He was throwing some good pitches and I was just making contact.” The Giants' J.D. Davis has six RBIs in the first two games of the weekend series despite playing with a painful knee abrasion.
The Giants took a 6-1 lead with two runs in each of the first three innings. Davis had an RBI single in the first and Matt Beaty followed with a run-scoring groundout. Blake Sabol made it 4-0 with a two-run homer in the second before Detroit's Kerry Carpenter hit a solo home run in the bottom of the second.
