Returning to the place where they won the 2012 World Series, the San Francisco Giants came away with the same outcome as when Sergio Romo struck out Miguel Cabrera to clinch the series.

Jake Peavy was forced to sit through a two-hour rain delay, as he went six innings, allowing just one earned run bad the Giants defeated the Detroit Tigers 8-2 at Comerica Park.

Peavy struck out six and walked three in his six innings of work, as he evened his record with the Giants at 4-4 since being acquired from the reigning World Champion Boston Red Sox on July 26.

It was a two hour and 42 minute rain delay that stopped the first meeting between these two teams since the 2012 World Series.

The Giants got to Tigers starter Rick Porcello early and often, as they scored a run in the first, three in the second and two in the third.

It was a rough night for Porcello all around, as he allowed five earned runs in three innings and took a Brandon Crawford come backer off his right foot.

Porcello ended up going those three innings, allowing six runs (five of them earned), walking one and striking out one.

Pablo Sandoval, who hit three home runs in game one of the 2012 World Series was up to his old tricks again, as he hit a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning, his 16th home run of the season.
