LaMonte Wade Jr. gave the Giants the lead in the top of the 11th, but Camilo Doval served up a game-winning home run in the bottom half.
DETROIT — Despite Friday night’s series opener featuring Thairo Estrada finishing a triple shy of the cycle, a game-tying home run from J.D. Davis and the opposing left fielder dropping a can of corn with the would-be go-ahead run on base, the Giants couldn’t beat the Tigers, a team that lost 96 games last year and nine of their first 12 of 2023.
After trailing for most of the night, LaMonte Wade Jr. even delivered the go-ahead base knock in the top of the 11th. But asked to close out the game in his second inning of work, Camilo Doval served up a walk-off to Nick Maton, who blasted a game-winning homer to right field to beat the Giants, 7-5.In addition to his big home run, Davis made a pair of highlight-reel defensive plays at third base, too.
