Conforto scores on Canha's sacrifice fly in 9th and Giants edge Tigers 3-2

Canha lifted a 2-2 fastball from Shelby Miller to deep left to score Conforto, who had walked. Heliot Ramos led off the inning with a grounder up the middle that Tigers second baseman Colt Keith misplayed for an error. It was the Giants 10th walk-off win this season.

“It was a really special moment for me," said Canha, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and was traded to the Giants from the Tigers at the deadline. "Just awesome, awesome feeling. Couldn’t have asked for more for my first day home. I grew up coming to this place. It means a lot to me. Special, special stadium. I kind of got goosebumps last night when we got in.”

Tyler Rogers (2-3) retired all three batters he faced to get the win.

The Giants didn't get much offense going over the first six innings against the combination of Beau Brieske and Kenta Maeda. San Francisco's only runner came in the first inning when Ramos walked. Even after the slow start, the Giants rallied to win their third straight and 11th in 14 games. “We have so many nice pieces on this team that just bring so much to the table," said Canha. "So many good hitters and good pitchers. It’s just a matter of coming out and competing every night.”

The Tigers jumped to a 1-0 second-inning lead after a standup leadoff double from Gio Urshela and Ryan Vilade's sacrifice fly.

Despite looking suddenly uncomfortable and pitching firmly in the 80 mph range for the majority of the second and third innings, San Francisco's Robbie Ray worked through the jam and kept the Tigers from scoring again until Javier Báez stole third and scored on a throwing error by Giants catcher Curt Casali in the fifth.

Maeda pitched 4 2/3 innings after taking over for Brieske in the fourth, notched two strikeouts and allowed two runs. Jason Foley (3-4) took the loss.

Ray had seven strikeouts in six innings. He allowed five hits and two runs in his fourth game since returning from Tommy John surgery. “I felt great,” Ray said. "I didn’t have any fatigue afterwards. I still felt strong in that last inning.”
