SAN FRANCISCO–Logan Webb and Troy Melton duked it out in a good old-fashioned pitcher’s duel; each team scored a run; but the Tigers scored two off of Sam Hentges in the top of the 10th inning to take the rubber match of this three-game series 3-1 Sunday.

It was a hazy, but nice day for baseball at Oracle Park. Logan Webb would be doing what he has seemed to do far too many times, and that is take the ball after a Giants’ loss. It wasn’t any Giants’ loss; it was an 8-0 shellacking, in which the Giants only got two hits.

Things did not look that much more promising for the Giants’ offense today. Why, you ask? Opposing Webb would be right-hander Troy Melton. Melton, in his second year in the big leagues—his first as a fulltime starter—came into Sunday’s game 7-1 with a 1.58 ERA. It was not good news for the Giants’ offense, but it was great news for any true baseball fan, who enjoys a pitcher’s duel.

This turned out to be the pitcher’s duel we all expected. Webb and Melton both opened up with one, two, three, first innings, and then pitched through two-out hits in the second. The Giants’ two-out hit in the bottom of the second was a triple off the bat of Drew Gilbert. However, Daniel Susac was unable to get him in.

Both pitchers cruised along nicely through the middle innings. Though, the funny thing was that neither pitcher would throw another one, two, three inning until they both threw 1-2-3 innings in the fifth.

The Tigers would strike in the top of the sixth. Zach McKinstry and Kevin McGonicle both singled to put runners at the corners with nobody out. Tony Vitello moved the infield in, and up came Gleyber Torres. Torres hit a ground ball towards third to Willy Adames, who was playing closer to third than second. Adames knew he didn’t have a play at the plate, so he turned a 6-4-3 double play. The Tigers were on the board, but it was pretty impressive that Adames and the Giants were able to turn a double play with the drawn-in infield.

The Tigers were up 1-0, and Melton responded with a one,two, three bottom of the sixth. Webb then followed suit in the top of the seventh. A. J. Hinch brought in Kyle Finnegan. 

Rafael Devers led off the bottom of the seventh with a base-hit to left, and that would do it for Melton. Osleivis Basabe grounded into a fielder’s choice. He then stole second base, and then took third when the throw from catcher Eduarco Valencia tipped off the top of the glove of second-baseman Gleyber Torres, into center field.

Drew Gilbert hit a little squibber off the end of the bat towards third. Colt Keith had no play, and the game was tied.

It was a new game at 1-1, and Webb was back out for the eighth. Webb pitched through a one-out double by Valencia to cap off his day. 

After Tony Vitello had to use four relievers yesterday, Webb gave the Giants the outing they needed. Webb gave up just one run on four hits. He only struck out two, but that helped keep his pitch count down, and allowed him to pitch eight innings.

The Giants wasted an opportunity against Drew Sommers in the bottom of the eighth, which sent the game to the ninth still tied. Dylan Smith came in, and threw a 1-2-3 top of the ninth.

Hinch summoned our old friend, Kenley Jansen, for the bottom of the ninth. Jansen struck out the side in a one, two, three inning.

It was off to extras. Sam Hentges was brought in for the top of the tenth. Riley Greene was the Manfred runner at second base, and Hao-Yu Lee led off the inning with an RBI single to right to put the Tigers back ahead at 2-1. 

Spencer Torkelson then poked a base-hit to left-center, which moved Lee over to third. Max Clark grounded into a fielder’s choice, and the Tigers tacked on a valuable insurance run to make it 3-1.

Hinch brought in Tyler Holton for the bottom of the tenth. Drew Cavanaugh was the Manfred runner at second, but it wouldn’t matter. Just as Jansen did an inning prior, Holton struck out the side in a one, two, three inning, and the Tigers won it 3-1.

Kenley Jansen got the win; Sam Hentges took the loss; and Tyler Holton picked up his second save of the season.

The Giants are now 20 games under .500 at 49-69.

The Houston Astros will come in for the second leg of this three-team homestand for a three-game series starting Monday night. The Giants will be somewhat dragged into the pennant race, and get to play spoilers, as the Astros currently stand atop the American League West by a game. The Astros are currently playing on NBC Sunday Night Baseball in San Diego.

RHP Blade Tidwell (0-0 ERA 3.18) will go for the Giants. He will be opposed by RHP Hayden Wesneski (2-0 ERA 3.86) for the Astros.

First pitch will be at 6:45 pm PDT.

San Francisco Giants podcast Stephen Ruderman:

#1 Detroit Tigers starter Jackson Jobe held the San Francisco Giants just to one hit through five innings pitched. It was Jackson’s first appearance in more than a year. Jobe ended up striking out four Giants hitters.

#2 Jobe had all his pitches working for him a great mix of pitches and considering he rehabbed from Tommy John surgery from 2025 it looked like he didn’t miss a step agianst the Giants line up.

#3 The only Giants who got hits against Detroit pitching Saturday were Willy Adames and Eddys Leonard as the Giants were shutout 8-0 on a two hitter facing a combinaiton of three Tiger pitchers.

#4 It’s back to the drawing board for the Giants in game 3 of this three game set in the rubber game match for Detroit RHP Troy Melton (7-1 ERA 1.58) and for San Francisco RHP Logan Webb (7-7 ERA 3.74) first pitch 1:05pm PDT.

#5 Lastly we talked about this on Saturday the loss of the late great AP reporter Michael Wags Wagaman who we got to speak with whether it was at the Sacramento A’s, San Francisco Giants, Cal Bears, or San Jose Sharks hockey, Wags was full of life and always fired up and excited to be at a sporting event his passing on Friday certainly leaves a huge void in the media community and his friends will deeply miss him.

Giants suffer two hit shutout by Tigers 8-0; Bengals 3 pitchers combine throwing nothing but goose eggs

SAN FRANCISCO–The San Francisco Giants were shutout by the Detroit Tigers 8-0 on Saturday afternoon at Oracle Park in a game of firsts.

Giants RHP Trent Harris made his MLB debut, and Tigers starting pitcher made his season debut following a 14-month rehab from Tommy John surgery. 

Though Harris’s debut was probably not what he had dreamed about. Harris’s short 14-pitch outing resulted in three hits from the Tigers’ bats, all doubles, and tallied three runs on the board. The Tigers’ offense woke up after this and scored seven runs in the seventh inning, starting and ending with rightfielder Zach McKinstry. 

Reliever LHP Reiver Sanmartin took over for Harris after McKinstry’s, McConigle’s, and Dingler’s doubles. The Giants’ pitching change did not change the Tigers’ energy. They kept hitting.

Greene singled, bringing Dingler to third and scoring position. Valencia then doubled, bringing home both Dingler and Greene. Rookie Max Clark showcased how electric he is with his fresh speed by hitting a triple. Last on the action was Baez, who brought home Clark on a single. McKinstry grounded out, giving the Giants the last out they needed to end the inning of their nightmares. 

“Seventh inning was big, and it didn’t go our way,” Manager Tony Vitello said post game. 

The Tigers drew in one final run on a fielder’s choice during Clark’s at- bat in the ninth inning, bringing the score to 8-0. This win has evened the playing field in their three-game series. 

The Giants continued to fumble offensively, not having much to show, but two singles by Willy Adames in the fourth and Eddys Leonard in the eighth. 

Giants starting pitcher RHP Landen Roupp suffered his 11th loss of the season with a 4.22 ERA, despite only allowing one run through his five innings. 

Vitello spoke highly of Roupp, seeing his frustration with getting taken out of the game after the fifth inning as a good thing. 

“His stuff is good, but his competitive heart is even better. It’s a big part of who he is,” Vitello said. 

Before first pitch, the Giants hosted their Wall of Fame ceremony, including five new inductees: Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval, and Joe Panik. The festivities were celebrated loudly, with many fans happy to see familiar faces. 

Up next, the Giants will play the Tigers in the series finale on Sunday afternoon, first pitch at 1:05 p.m. The starting pitchers on the hill will be Giants RHP Logan Webb (7-7, 3.74 ERA) and Tigers RHP Troy Melton (7-1, 1.58 ERA).

SAN FRANCISCO – This Friday night’s game was the start of the San Francisco Giants’ season-long nine-game homestand. The Giants (49-67) will host the Detroit Tigers (56-60) for the next three games, with the home team, the Giants, taking the first one Friday night, 5-2. The winning and starting pitcher of this ballgame was San Francisco Giants RHP Adrian Houser. This is Houser’s third win of the season, and he got his 43rd career win as a pitcher.

The losing pitcher for this game was Detroit Tigers RHP Keider Montero. Montero, coming into the game, was 8-6 and had an ERA of 3.17. This game was his 19th start in his 25th game of the season. This is also his fourth straight start after five consecutive relief outings.

The Giants returned home after a rough road trip in which San Francisco went (2-5), going (1-3) at San Diego and then (1-2) at Texas. These losses have now brought San Francisco to a season-low 19 games under .500 for the first time since 2017, ending 34 games under .500. Going into the game, the Giants were on a two-game losing streak. So the team was ready to come home and take advantage of their long homestand.

Detroit came into this game having great success on their road trip. The Tigers have won five of their six games in their West Coast trip. They stopped in three cities along the West Coast: Sacramento, Seattle, and now San Francisco. They went (3-0) in Sacramento, sweeping the Athletics, and then went (2-1) in Seattle. Detroit has outscored their opponents by 42 runs (53-11) in these first six games.

Tigers leadoff hitter Kevin McGonigle started the game off for Detroit with a single on a fly ball to right outfielder Jung Hoo Lee. Then the next batter, Gleyber Torres, also got himself a single on a sharp line drive back to right fielder Lee. Setting up McGonigle at third, so all Detroit needed was a hit, and that’s what they got. Tigers’ Dillon Dingler grounded into a force out, third baseman Christian Koss to second baseman Osleivis Basabe. Bringing in Kevin McGonigle to score early for the Tigers, 1-0.

Eventually, Giants pitcher JT Brubaker would end the top of the first with his first strikeout of the night. So with the Giants already down one run, they were trying to get their bats swinging and give their fans something to cheer for. So, Giants Rafael Devers’ first at-bat delivered with a home run to center field (401 feet). His homer would bring two runs, giving the Giants their first lead of the night, 2-1. His homer was his 24th of the season.

Just pitching one inning, with two hits, one run, and one strikeout. The Giants pull JT Brubaker, shortening his first start of the season. San Francisco brings in RHP Adrian Houser to replace him. However, Detroit still gets their bats swinging on him as well. The Tigers, in the top of the second, would be able to get another run on the Giants, tying the game, 2-2.

At the bottom of the second inning, with the Giants having two outs but bases loaded. Giants Jung Hoo Lee understood the assignment for them. Lee would get himself a single to center field, bringing in two runs for San Francisco. His two-run single would give the Giants the lead, 4-2. His hit would ignite and get the fans on their feet just after. The San Francisco Giants had a quick moment to honor and celebrate longtime Giants broadcaster Mike Brokow on his retirement.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Giants were seeing all the right pitches to their batting. Giants Willy Adames would add on and get his 19th home run of the season to left field, pushing San Francisco’s lead to 5-2. After that, the Giants defense stepped up and held off the Tigers. Detroit scored 76 runs in their last eight games, starting back on July 28th. So with the Tigers just being held to two runs, it makes the Giants defense stand out and shows some light into the season’s lows.

Heading into the top of the ninth inning, the Giants were holding the lead at 5-2. With San Francisco needing three more outs to call the game, they sent out RHP Dylan Smith. Smith is 0-4 and is still looking for his first win, and got his most recent loss on Tuesday. So with him determined to get his win and with help from the Giants’ defense. San Francisco holds off Detroit and took game one tonight. Smith would receive his first career save in this ballgame, and the Giants would get their 49th win of the season.

The San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers will come back Saturday for their second game out of three. The first pitch will be at 4:15 p.m. with the Giants sending out RHP Landen Roupp (7-10, 4.34 ERA). Detroit will send out and also will be making their season debut is RHP Jackson Jobe. The game will be broadcast on FOX.

Tigers stomp on Athletics, 11-0; A’s on a 5-game losing streak

The Sacramento Athletics hosted the Detroit Tigers Sunday afternoon for the third and final game of their home stand this weekend. After Saturday’s loss to the Tigers, 8-6, the Athletics came into this game hoping to take at least one of the games in their series. However, for the A’s “Stomping Sundays”, it would be the Tigers who would do the “stomping,” with Sunday’s final score being 11-0.

The Athletics’ season struggles continue, as the team is now on another 5-game losing streak. The Tigers came into this series determined to keep their postseason alive. So with Detroit sweeping the Athletics, they keep their wild card hopes alive. Detroit (54-58) is only 2 1/2 games away from the third Wild Card slot with 50 games left in the regular season, keeping them firmly in the running for the American League playoffs.

Over the course of their three games in West Sacramento, where they were swept by an A’s squad that was then on a more hopeful run, the Tigers outscored the A’s 32-7. Sunday’s game-time temperature was 95 degrees, and it only got worse, but Detroit jumped out to the lead on Spencer Torkelson’s two-out, two-run double in the first inning and never looked back. That double would also be Torkelson’s 19th of the season.

The Athletics’ starting and losing pitcher of the game was Gage Jump. Jump would allow four hits, six runs, and six walks, but also record five strikeouts during his time on the mound. In the top of the fourth inning, Tigers’ Gleyber Torres singled on a ground ball to Athletics center fielder Henry Bolte, bringing in teammates Max Clark and Ben Malgeri to score. Zach McKinstry to third. Torres would bring in two runs in this game, and by then, the score was 4-0.

Still not done in the top of the fourth inning, Tigers’ Eduardo Valencia would join the swinging party in Sacramento, as he would slugger in a double, his second of the season, on a sharp line drive to left field. His double would bring in another two runs for Detroit as they finished the fourth inning with a total of four runs. Bringing the score now to 6-0.

Athletics’ offense was able to get some hits on the Tigers’ bullpen. They would be able to get up to seven hits in this one, but couldn’t get any of their runs to come home. The Tigers’ defense and their outfielders were ready to finish off this season series against the A’s. Detroit’s starting and winning pitcher, Keider Montero, performance was solid enough performance for them. Montero would put up two hits, two walks, and two strikeouts up there on the pitching mound.

Detroit wasn’t done with the Athletics, especially Eduardo Valencia. Valencia would get another double in the top of the eighth inning, making this one now his third of the season. His double would bring in another two runs for Detroit as the score jumped to 8-0. With no outs, Detroit just took advantage of that and started to tally up their score. They would finish the eighth inning with the score at 10-0.

In the final inning of the game, Tigers’ James Outman still had some fire in him as he would slam a home run in Sacramento. This home run was his fifth of the season and pushed the score to 11-0, which would be the final score of the game. The Athletics, in their last ten games, have now gone 2-8.

Athletics will get a quick rest Monday as the team heads to Cincinnati and takes on the Reds Tuesday night. The Reds are fifth in the National League Central. The Reds are coming off of a big win against Pittsburgh, 10-2. They are also 26-31 at home and are hoping to take the win in their three game matchup against the Athletics. The game will be on Tuesday, August 4th, and will be broadcast on MLB.TV at 3:40 p.m.

Dodgers acquire Tarik Skubal from Tigers just ahead of MLB deadline

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

AI image of Los Angeles Dodger pitcher Tarik Skubal in Dodgers uniform

By Charlie O

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired two time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal in a trade that would send outfielder Zyhir Hope, right handed pitcher River Ryan and right hander Brady Smith to Detroit. Hope is number five, Ryan is number seven and Smith is number 17 among the Dodgers top 20 prospects.

Skubal for most of the 26 season was going to be tradable and he had elbow surgery in May and was not going to finish the season with the Tigers. Skubal was 7-5 with a 2.79 ERA. His joining the Dodgers will just give them that extra push to have another shot at winning another World Series.
