The Tigers tried their best to chip away at the 4-0 hole they found themselves in after five innings in San Francisco, but just couldn't seem to get the big hit they needed in their 4-3 loss to the Giants on Tuesday night.
Miguel Cabrera broke into the scoring column for Detroit with an RBI single in the sixth, and Jeimer Candelario followed that up with a double in the seventh that brought Willi Castro home.
Castro did his part in the next inning with a base hit that scored Riley Greene, but Detroit ended up leaving the bases loaded as Camilo Doval came in from the bullpen to clean up the mess and registered the final four outs for San Francisco.
