SAN FRANCISCO — – Rafael Devers<\/a> hit a two-run homer in the first, Jung Hoo Lee<\/a> singled in two runs the next inning before Willy Adames<\/a> homered in the fifth, and the San Francisco Giants<\/a> beat the Detroit Tigers<\/a> 5-2 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Adrian Houser<\/a> (3-7) relieved opener JT Brubaker<\/a> and allowed one run on six hits over five innings, struck out four and walked one as San Francisco won for just the second time in seven games – and Houser earned his first win in 13 overall appearances and five starts since May 17 on the road against the Athletics.<\/p>\n

Dylan Smith<\/a>, San Francisco’s fifth pitcher, allowed a two-out walk in the ninth before finishing for his second save.<\/p>\n

The Giants began a season-long nine-game homestand coming off a 2-5 trip that dropped the club to a season-low 19 games below .500 for the first time since finishing 34 games under to end the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

Devers connected in the first off Keider Montero<\/a> (8-7) after the Tigers went ahead in the top half on Dillon Dingler<\/a>‘s RBI groundout.<\/p>\n

Montero surrendered five runs on five hits over five innings, struck out five and walked three for the Tigers, who swept the Giants in three games last season at home.<\/p>\n

Zach McKinstry<\/a> hit an RBI single in the second for Detroit, but that was it for a club that has been putting up runs. The Tigers had won five of six to begin a West Coast road trip and scored 76 runs over its previous eight games beginning July 28 against Baltimore.<\/p>\n

The Giants paid tribute<\/a> to retiring 74-year-old broadcaster Mike Krukow. He announced Thursday this season would be his last<\/a> in the booth after nearly four decades.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Tigers RHP Jackson Jobe<\/a> was set to make his season debut Saturday opposite Giants RHP Landen Roupp<\/a> (7-10, 4.34 ERA).<\/p>\n
