Lee's pinch-hit single in 10th sends Tigers past Giants 3-1 after Melton and
Webb duel on mound
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Hao-Yu Lee drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning
with a pinch-hit single and the Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants
3-1 on Sunday in the rubber game of their series.
Spencer Torkelson singled off Sam Hentges (1-4) after Lee's base hit scored
automatic runner Riley Greene for a 2-1 lead. Max Clark's groundout added an
insurance run.
Kenley Jansen (3-4) struck out the side in the ninth for the win. Tyler Holton
pitched a perfect 10th for his second save as the Tigers finished 7-2 on a
three-city trip to the West Coast.
Detroit starter Troy Melton allowed an unearned run on four hits and a walk
over six-plus innings, striking out five. The right-hander hasn't permitted an
earned run in his last 20 innings. Melton has given up two runs or fewer in 12
of his 13 starts this season.
Logan Webb yielded one run on four hits and a walk over eight innings for the
Giants, throwing 100 pitches.
Willy Adames and Rafael Devers singled to start the fourth against Melton,
putting runners at the corners. Osleivis Basabe struck out looking and Adames
was thrown out at home by right fielder Zach McKinstry trying to score on Drew
Gilbert's flyout, keeping it scoreless.
McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle singled to begin the sixth against Webb to put
runners on first and third. McKinstry scored on Gleyber Torres' double-play
grounder for a 1-0 lead.
Devers led off the seventh with a single, chasing Melton in favor of Kyle
Finnegan. Basabe reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and took an extra
base on a throwing error by catcher Eduardo Valencia. Gilbert followed with an
infield single to tie it 1-all.
Detroit reliever Drew Sommers loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but
Devers hit into a double play.
