SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 The Sunday afternoon crowd thinned out by the time the bottom of the 10th inning rolled around. Whether it was the bleachers or the arcade or the lower bowl, it was hard not to notice hundreds of empty seats despite the Giants still being within striking distance. The announced attendance on an idyllic San Francisco summer day was 32,200.<\/p>\n

With a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Sunday afternoon, the Giants have fallen 20 games below .500 for the first time since 2017. With this team\u2019s record sitting at 49-69, it\u2019s hard to imagine many packed houses the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Logan Webb tossed eight innings of one-run ball, the fourth time this season he\u2019s completed at least eight innings. Webb recorded just two strikeouts on the afternoon, tied for his fewest in a start this season, but generated nine groundouts and induced two double plays.<\/p>\n

Dylan Smith, who was designated for assignment by the Tigers earlier this season, got revenge on his former team by striking out the side in the top of the ninth, setting down Gleyber Torres, Dillon Dingler and Riley Greene \u2014 all swinging.<\/p>\n

The Giants and Tigers remained locked in a scoreless tie for the first five innings until Detroit scored the game\u2019s first run in the top of the sixth. Detroit put runners at the corners on back-to-back singles by Zach McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle, then Gleyber Torres scored McKinstry despite grounding into a double play.<\/p>\n

San Francisco scored the equalizer in the bottom of the seventh when Osleivis Basabe reached on a fielder\u2019s choice, stole second base, advanced to third on a bad throw, then scored on Drew Gilbert\u2019s infield single.<\/p>\n
