Jung Hoo Lee chipped in with a two-run single for the Giants, who were making their first home appearance since dealing six veteran players around the trade deadline earlier in the week.

After opener JT Brubaker allowed a run on a Dillon Dingler fielder’s choice in the top of the first, Devers gave the Giants the lead in the bottom of the inning, launching a two-run homer, his 24th of the season.

Houser (3-7) replaced Brubaker to start the second inning and allowed a game-tying run on an RBI single by Zach McKinstry. But that’s the only run the right-hander surrendered in five innings, during which he allowed six hits and one walk. He struck out four.

Lee gave the Giants the lead for good in the second when, with two outs and the bases loaded, he singled to center, scoring Drew Gilbert and Osleivis Basabe.

Adames’ homer, his 19th, capped the game’s scoring in the fifth.

Tigers starter Keider Montero (8-7) took the loss after allowing all five Giants runs on five hits. He walked three and struck out five.

Continuing a Western swing in which they’d taken five of six from the Athletics and Seattle Mariners, the Tigers had many chances to cut into the deficit but failed to fully capitalize on their 11 hits. Detroit stranded 12 on base, mainly because its hitters went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

The Tigers out-hit the hosts 11-5, with all 11 hits being singles.

Keaton Winn, Sam Hentges and Dylan Smith followed Houser with three innings of shutout relief. Smith earned his second save of the season.

Basabe had two hits for the Giants, who had lost five of their last six games.

Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkelson collected three hits apiece and McKinstry had two for the Tigers.

D-backs extend
Dodgers’ skid on walk-off homer

Ryan Waldschmidt hit a walk-off two-run homer with one out in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 4-3 in Phoenix on Friday, sending Los Angeles to its seventh consecutive loss.

Max Kepler walked to open the ninth off Edwin Diaz (1-1). Pinch runner Jorge Barrosa stole second with one out before Waldschmidt lined a 411-foot homer to left center. It was the rookie’s second homer, his first to end a game.

Andy Pages gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead with a 425-foot homer to lead off the eighth. Tommy Edman had two hits and an RBI for Los Angeles, which has lost five straight to the D-backs.

Nolan Arenado homered and Geraldo Perdomo had a double, a triple and an RBI for the D-backs, who have won seven of 10 and are 17-8 since July 9, the day before they began a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium.

Arizona starter Merrill Kelly no-hit the Dodgers for five innings before removing himself with a right leg cramp after giving up two hits and two walks in the sixth, when Los Angeles scored its first run.

Edman broke up the no-hit bid with a scratch single off first baseman Tim Tawa’s glove, but he was picked off. Hunter Feduccia singled and Shohei Ohtani and Pages walked to load the bases.

Freddie Freeman grounded into a forceout at second, bringing in a run. Kelly motioned to the Arizona dugout with his glove and was removed. The Diamondbacks led 2-1, so Kelly was in line for his first career victory in 18 career starts vs. the Dodgers. He is 0-11 against them.

Edman’s RBI single off Taylor Clarke tied the game in the seventh.

The D-backs loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth, but Tanner Scott got Arenado swinging on the 12th pitch of an at-bat to end the inning.

Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki gave up two runs and four hits in six innings, with five strikeouts and a walk.

Arenado homered in the second for a 1-0 lead. It was Arenado’s 35th homer against the Dodgers, second among active players to Paul Goldschmidt (36).

Sasaki slipped on a 2-0 pitch to Tawa with one out in the fifth, which caused a member of the training staff to come out. Sasaki threw two warmup pitches and remained in the game before walking Tawa, who stole second and scored on Perdomo’s triple to right-center, making it 2-0.

Drew Rasmussen, Rays shut
down Mariners

All-Star Drew Rasmussen pitched seven scoreless innings as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the host Seattle Mariners 2-1 Friday night. Jonny DeLuca and Jonathan Aranda homered for the American League East-leading Rays, who have won 13 of their past 17 games. The Mariners lost for the third time in four games on their homestand. They avoided their third shutout in that span when Julio Rodriguez homered to left with two outs in the ninth off Bryan Baker, who then caught Josh Naylor looking at a called third strike for the final out. It was Baker’s MLB-leading 33rd save of the season.

The right-handed Rasmussen (11-5), who was born in nearby Puyallup, Wash., and attended Oregon State, allowed just two hits — an infield single by Cole Young with one out in the first and a one-out liner to left by Rodriguez in the second. Rasmussen, who walked two and struck out eight, retired the final 16 batters he faced.

The Mariners threatened in the second, when Rodriguez’s single and a pair of walks loaded the bases with two outs. Rasmussen fanned rookie Colt Emerson to get out of the inning and didn’t allow another runner.

DeLuca opened the scoring with a solo shot to left-center field with one out in the second inning off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (8-7).

Aranda went deep down the right-field line with two outs in the third to make it 2-0.

The Rays had a chance to score in the fifth after Victor Mesa Jr. led off with a double to left and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Richie Palacios. Taylor Walls followed by dropping down another bunt, with Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh fielding the ball and apparently tagging out Mesa Jr.

Replays showed Raleigh had the ball in his bare hand instead of his mitt when he applied the tag, but home-plate umpire Doug Eddings ruled Mesa Jr. had left the baseline and thus was declared out.
