The Tigers secured a 4-3 win over the Giants on Wednesday, May 28, in the finale of a three-game series at Comerica Park, scoring all four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. The clutch hit: Justyn-Henry Malloy drove in two runs on a single with two strikes and two outs, taking the lead.

The Tigers (37-20) swept a series for the third time in May.
Before Malloy’s big hit, Colt Keith ripped a double down the right-field line to plate the first two runs in the fifth — cutting the Tigers’ deficit to 3-2. After Keith’s two-run double, Malloy flipped the scoreboard with his two-run single — putting the Tigers ahead, 4-3.
Keith hit right-handed starter Landen Roupp, while Malloy hit right-handed reliever Randy Rodríguez.

The Tigers, though, had to fend off a comeback effort from the Giants in the eighth inning, as righty reliever John Brebbia allowed two runners in scoring position.
There were no outs, so the Tigers turned to righty reliever Tommy Kahnle. He retired three batters in a row: Patrick Bailey flied out, Christian Koss struck out swinging, and Mike Yastrzemski grounded out.
Kahnle escaped the jam without allowing a run, then closed out a scoreless ninth for his seventh save of the season.
