Tigers 3, Tigers 1

Baseball is full of numbers. Too many numbers. The beauty of that is when you write about baseball, you can make the numbers work for you.

If you're in a sour mood, look at the Giants last 10 games. They've only scored 13 runs in that time, the fewest in baseball. They're hitting .180 as a team across the last week.

If you're looking for a boost, look at the Giants last 10 games. They've only allowed 2.4 runs per game in that time. Their 2.86 ERA this month is the best in the National League.

The Giants are 5-5 in these last 10 games. Your glass is either half full or half empty. Mine is running out of milk.

Up next: The Giants send Landon Roupp (3-3, 3.63 ERA) to the mound as they try to avoid the sweep. The Tigers will try to extract revenge for 2012 with Jackson Jobe (4-1, 4.06 ERA). First pitch at 10:10 am.
