Tigers Seek Series Win Against Giants After Jobe's Triumphant Return
Jackson Jobe held the San Francisco Giants to one hit in five scoreless innings in his first outing in the majors more than a year. Jobe (1-0) had been sidelined after Tommy John surgery in 2025. The right-hander struck out four and walked one. The Tigers tagged reliever Reiver Sanmartin for four hits in the seventh inning, including a two-run double by pinch-hitter Eduardo Valencia, an RBI triple by Max Clark and a run-scoring single by Javier Baez that upped Detroit's lead to 7-0. Today's series finale offers the Tigers a chance to extend their momentum at Oracle Park.
