On the SF Giants podcast with Marko:

#1 The Detroit Tigers avoided getting swept by the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco with a 5-4 win.

#2 The Tigers got home run help from Dillon Dingler and Matt Vierling. For Dingler it was his first career home run.

#3 The Giants in the bottom of the eight some bad base running, Matt Chapman was thrown out at home on a run down and then Mark Canha was hung up and thrown out at third base. That was an inning that basically saved the Tigers in the one run game.

#4 The Giants scored twice in the first and twice in the sixth but couldn’t capitalize in the eighth and in didn’t get one those heroic ninth inning walk offs.

#5 The Giants open a four game series with the Atlanta Braves on Monday night at Oracle Park with the Braves sending left hander Chris Sale (13-3, ERA 2.75) against the Giants starter Blake Snell (2-3, ERA 4.31) first pitch slated for 6:45pm
