Giants mauled by Tigers, lose 7-6 in extra innings

The San Francisco Giants lost yet another gut-punch of a game, falling to the Detroit Tigers, 7-6 in 11 innings.

If you watched just the beginning of this game, or just the later half, you’d be forgiven for thinking they were two different games.

It started off as a great day of baseball for the Giants in Detroit, with J.D. Davis putting on a show and knocking in three runs, including a two-run homer. Blake Sabol also had a two-run shot of his own. The Giants had a 6-1 lead after the third inning, with the only Tigers run being a home run from Kerry Carpenter off of starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani in the second inning.
