Kenley Jansen (3-4) struck out the side in the ninth for the win. Tyler Holton pitched a perfect 10th for his second save as the Tigers finished 7-2 on a three-city trip to the West Coast.

Detroit starter Troy Melton allowed an unearned run on four hits and a walk over six-plus innings, striking out five. The right-hander hasn’t permitted an earned run in his last 20 innings. Melton has given up two runs or fewer in 12 of his 13 starts this season.

Logan Webb yielded one run on four hits and a walk over eight innings for the Giants, throwing 100 pitches.

Willy Adames and Rafael Devers singled to start the fourth against Melton, putting runners at the corners. Osleivis Basabe struck out looking and Adames was thrown out at home by right fielder Zach McKinstry trying to score on Drew Gilbert's flyout, keeping it scoreless.

McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle singled to begin the sixth against Webb to put runners on first and third. McKinstry scored on Gleyber Torres' double-play grounder for a 1-0 lead.

Devers led off the seventh with a single, chasing Melton in favor of Kyle Finnegan. Basabe reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and took an extra base on a throwing error by catcher Eduardo Valencia. Gilbert followed with an infield single to tie it 1-all.

Detroit reliever Drew Sommers loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but Devers hit into a double play.

The Giants begin a three-game series with the visiting Astros on Monday.

The Tigers host RHP Tannner Bibee (4-11, 3.85 ERA) and the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday.

LONDON (AP) — The second of two storms to hit the U.K. this weekend brought widespread travel disruptions and power outages to Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England on Sunday.

The Met Office, the U.K.'s national forecaster, said Storm Boelo will bring a danger to life from flying debris and crashing waves and people should stay indoors as much as possible.

Gusts above 80 mph (128 kph) have already been recorded in Scotland, including on the island of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides. Energy company SSEN had reported a total of 93 unplanned power cuts in Scotland by 10 a.m.

An amber wind warning, the Met Office’s second most severe, is active across Scotland and the north of England until late Sunday. Flood warnings are also in place, while airports, ferries, railways and roads have seen disruptions.

Boelo, pronounced “Boo-Loh”, has followed hard on the heels of Storm Austen, which battered southern England on Friday. The National Grid, which distributes electricity around the U.K., said power had been restored to more than 130,000 properties impacted by Austen by 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The Met Office began naming major storms in 2015 as a way to keep the public informed about severe weather. Storms are named in alphabetical order throughout the season, from September to August.
