Detroit Tigers sweep San Francisco Giants with 4-3 win, improve to MLB-best 37-20 record

Detroit Tigers fan Jed Oliver travels from London to Comerica Park
Detroit Tigers fan Jed Oliver traveled from London to visit Comerica Park for the first time May 23, 2025. He also received a gift from the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers swept the San Francisco Giants, secured their fourth win a row and now enter a seven-game road trip with as much momentum as they’ve had in weeks.
They’re playing like the best team in baseball again.
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.

Jackson Jobe starts
Right-hander Jackson Jobe allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts across 4⅔ innings, surrendering two of three runs in the fifth inning.
It was his fourth start in a row with at least two walks.
He threw 95 pitches.
In the fifth, Heliot Ramos hit a two-run home run off Jobe’s middle-middle sinker.
That put the Giants ahead, 3-0.

MSP trooper injured after vehicle strikes patrol car on I-96 in Detroit

A Michigan State Police trooper was injured after his patrol car was struck by a Jeep Cherokee driver who lost control on Interstate 96 in Detroit, running into the trooper’s car during a crash investigation, police said.
The trooper was sitting on the shoulder of westbound I-96 at Fullerton Avenue in Detroit investigating a single-vehicle crash, according to Michigan State Police.
The 55-year-old driver of the Jeep Cherokee lost control and struck the patrol car, pushing it into the rear of the car involved in the initial crash, according to MSP. The trooper was in his patrol car and was injured, as were two people in the Jeep.
“It is important for drivers to remember to slow down in wet weather,” said MSP First Lt. Mike Shaw in a press release. “This particular driver was not only driving too fast for road conditions, he also had three of his four tires worn below the wear bars which also led him to lose control and crash.”

Detroit businesses prepare for economic boost from Free Press Marathon Sunday

DETROIT, Mich. (WXYZ) — Thousands of runners are expected to flood downtown Detroit on Sunday for the Free Press Marathon, and local businesses are gearing up for the economic boost that comes with the annual event.
Holly McClain, owner of Olin Bar and Kitchen on East Grand River, said her team is prepared for the influx of hungry marathoners and spectators.
“We get an uptick of people all weekend which is great for us especially on Sunday,” McClain said.

More than 26,000 runners are expected to participate in this year’s race, which starts at 7 a.m.
McClain said the restaurant sees customers both before and after the marathon, with many taking advantage of their Sunday brunch that starts at 10:30 a.m.
“We get right before the marathon, after the marathon. We have a Sunday brunch starts at 10:30 so we see a lot of guest from the marathon,” McClain said.
When asked if runners come hungry, McClain was ready with an answer.
“They do come hungry and we’re ready to feed them. All of them,” McClain said.
The restaurant owner said she’s excited about the continued growth and development in downtown Detroit, particularly with new businesses opening nearby.
“It’s great when our neighbors open up businesses especially having the Hudson site right next door to us and more businesses coming in and bringing more people to Olin,” McClain said.
The Free Press Marathon generates significant economic impact for Detroit. Last year, the race brought in more than $23 million for the city.
Beyond the economic benefits, the event also raises money for various charities including the Alzheimer’s Association of Michigan and Boy Scouts of America.
“The more people that come down to Detroit, we’re excited about it,” McClain said.
