Nick Maton blasted a three-run homer in the bottom of the 11th as the host Detroit Tigers defeated the San Francisco Giants 7-5 on Friday.
Javy Baez, who was benched on Thursday after a baserunning gaffe, reached base four times and drove in two runs for Detroit. Starting pitcher Joey Wentz gave up one run in 5 2/3 innings and struck out seven but the bullpen squandered a three-run lead.
Brandon Crawford led off the 11th against Jose Cisnero with a single, moving automatic runner David Villar to third. Lamont Wade Jr. followed with an RBI single to left. The Giants were unable to push another run across. Giants starter Sean Manaea was removed after 3 1/3 innings. He gave up two runs and four hits and struck out four in throwing 82 pitches.
The Tigers tied it in the bottom of the second. Baez led off with an infield single and Eric Haase followed with a double. Spencer Torkelson knocked in Baez with a sacrifice fly.
