Polanco leads Tigers past Giants

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Tigers captured their fourth straight series when they downed the Giants 7-2 this afternoon in San Francisco.

 

Placido Polanco had four hits, drove in two runs and scored three for Detroit, winner of eight of its past ten.

 

Tigers starter Armando Galarraga (7-2) didn't allow an earned run in six innings and struck out five to win his third straight start.

 

Marcus Thames had his stretch of consecutive games with a home run end at five, which tied a Tigers record. Still, his last eight hits have been homers.

 

Giants starter Barry Zito fell to 2-11 with his first loss to Detroit since August 2003.
