Jack Flaherty, returning from previous struggles, showed signs of improvement, striking out nine and limiting damage to three runs over five innings. Jahmai Jones stood out offensively for the Tigers with a two-RBI double in the seventh, briefly igniting hopes of a comeback. However, the Tigers' inability to maintain momentum ultimately resulted in a disappointing loss.

The Detroit Tigers continued their impressive run in the MLB, winning their fourth consecutive game by defeating the San Francisco Giants 4-3. Justyn-Henry Malloy played a pivotal role in the victory, driving in the winning runs with a clutch two-out single in the fifth inning, which was part of a four-run rally. This win gives the Tigers a stellar 37-20 record, the best in the league.

Rookie right-hander Jackson Jobe, despite allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings, showcased resilience. The Tigers had to fend off a late push from the Giants, but Tommy Kahnle closed out the game with a scoreless ninth, securing his seventh save of the season.
