The 9-5 Detroit win over San Francisco was due in large part to Ben Shafer. The Giants left fielder went 3 for 4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Efrain Gutierrez notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3.2 innings. His record now sits at 7-6. The defeat makes San Francisco 63-76.

With the game tied, 5-5, in the bottom of the seventh, Shafer had a key at-bat for Detroit. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Shafer hit a run-scoring single off Justin Brownlee, making the score 6-5, Giants.

"Feels good to get the job done," Shafer said after the game.
