Lee’s pinch-hit single in 10th sends Tigers past Giants 3-1 after Melton and Webb duel on mound

In the rubber game of their series, the Detroit Tigers secured a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Hao-Yu Lee contributed to the win by driving in the decisive run in the 10th inning with a pinch-hit single, putting the Tigers ahead 2-1 with runners on base. Spencer Torkelson extended the Tigers' lead with a single off Sam Hentges (1-4) in the 10th, followed by Max Clark's groundout for a 3-1 score.

Kenley Jansen (3-4) finished the game by striking out the side in the ninth inning. Tyler Holton recorded a perfect 10th inning for his second save of the game. Detroit starter Troy Melton allowed an unearned run in six-plus innings, striking out five and providing a solid performance with a 3.85 ERA over his last 20 innings. Logan Webb faced San Francisco's offense, yielding one run on four hits and a walk in eight innings.

The Giants' recent struggles were evident as they allowed runs in crucial innings, including the fourth and sixth, but ultimately fell short in their effort to secure the series against the Tigers.
