Detroit Tigers sweep game series with 4-3 win over San Francisco Giants
Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a go-ahead single in a four-run fifth inning to help the Detroit Tigers rally to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Wednesday.
The American League-leading Tigers swept the three-game series and closed their homestand with a four-game winning streak.
Detroit generated all of its offense in the fifth with Colt Keith's two-run double and Malloy's two-out, two-run single.
Brenan Hanifee (3-2) allowed one hit and struck out one in one inning. Tommy Kahnle picked up his seventh save after stranding two runners that he inherited with no outs in the eighth inning and pitching a perfect ninth.
Landen Roupp (3-4) allowed four runs — one earned — on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over four innings.
The Giants chased Jackson Jobe with two outs in the fifth inning, leading 3-0, but couldn't take advantage of additional scoring opportunities.
LaMonte Wade had an RBI double to right in the second inning and Heliot Ramos hit a two-run homer in the fifth to give the Giants a 3-0 lead.
San Francisco, which left 10 runners on base, has scored four or fewer runs in 11 straight games for the first time since early in the 2024 season.
San Francisco's Mike Yastrzemski hit an inning-ending groundout in the eighth against Kahnle.
The Tigers were a baseball-best 67-33 from Aug. 11 of last season through their win Tuesday night in the second game of the series against San Francisco.
After San Francisco and Detroit have a day off on Thursday, Giants LHP Kyle Harrison (0-1, 3.86) is expected to be on the mound at Miami on Friday night while Tigers RHP Casey Mize (6-1, 2.45) is scheduled to start at Kansas City.

Musk's Banker Michael Grimes Sells SpaceX, Anduril for Trump Job
Michael Grimes, the veteran technology investment banker who helped Elon Musk buy Twitter in 2022, reported assets worth as much as $98 million in a financial disclosure as part of his new role at the Commerce Department. Grimes reported nearly $67 million of income, stock and accrued vacation payout from Morgan Stanley, where he worked for roughly 30 years as a managing director and a co-head of global technology investment banking. That total includes the $56 million he realized from selling restricted stock units that vested after he left in February. Grimes no longer owns shares in the company, according to his disclosure.

Musk-Trump Feud Distracts Tesla Traders Ahead of Robotaxi Launch
After years of anticipation and broken promises, Tesla Inc. said its robotaxi service is tentatively set to roll out later this month. Options traders aren't ready to buy the hype yet. Traders had braced for the milestone to come on June 12 — before Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said late Tuesday the company is aiming for a June 22 launch date — and their positioning in the stock's options signaled that few expected any fireworks. Options traders priced in a 5.4% move in the stock for the week ending June 13, according to data compiled by Tom Keen, options strategist at Piper Sandler. That's 24% below the stock's average realized weekly move over the past 12 months.
