SAN FRANCISCO — With a day off and Carlos Rodón on the hill, the Giants regained their footing in the first of two games against the Detroit Tigers.
In a rare interleague matchup, the Giants beat the Tigers 4-3, in the clubs’ first game since 2017 and their first meeting at Oracle Park since the Giants’ sweep to claim the 2012 World Series.
Since climbing a season-high 10 games over .500 last Saturday, the Giants had dropped six of their past eight and four of five entering Tuesday night. After a sloppy series loss to the National League-worst Reds on Sunday, manager Gabe Kapler said there was “work to be done” on their off day Monday before the start of this series.
