SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants showcased resilience on Saturday, overcoming a no-hit performance through four innings to secure a 3-1 victory against the Detroit Tigers. The turning point came in the fifth inning when Brett Wisely delivered a two-run double, propelling the Giants to their first hits of the game. This offensive surge began with consecutive singles from Mike Yastrzemski and Jerar Encarnacion, setting the stage for Wisely's clutch hit, followed by an RBI single from Heliot Ramos. Giants' right-hander Logan Webb was instrumental in the win, pitching seven strong innings and earning his third consecutive victory. Webb allowed just one run on four hits, striking out eight batters and lowering his ERA to 3.32. Ryan Walker secured the save in his first opportunity since the demotion of closer Camilo Doval to Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the week. The victory marked a significant milestone for the Giants, pushing them to a season-best three games above the .500 mark. They are now just 1.5 games behind the New York Mets in the race for the final National League wild-card spot, with the Mets scheduled to face the Seattle Mariners later in the day. In roster news, the Tigers placed outfielder Wenceel Pérez on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, prompting the call-up of Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo. Looking ahead, Tigers RHP Keider Montero is set to face Giants RHP Hayden Birdsong in the series finale on Sunday.
