DETROIT -- Andrew Susac hit a two-run double in San Francisco's four-run first against David Price, and the Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Saturday.

Miguel Cabrera homered twice for Detroit, which has dropped three of four. Victor Martinez hit a solo drive in the third for his career-best 30th homer.
Price (13-11) settled down after the rough start, striking out 11 in 8 2-3 innings. But the left-hander, who was acquired from Tampa Bay in a July 31 trade, dropped to 1-3 with a 4.91 ERA in his last four starts.

McCarthy (6-4) allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Kansas City, which had won four in a row, remained two games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central.

David Carpenter (6-3) pitched 1 2-3 innings for the win and Craig Kimbrel finished for his 43rd save in 47 opportunities.

Escobar reached first on a throwing error by shortstop Ryan Flaherty, took second on Kevin Kiermaier's sacrifice and advanced to third on Curt Casali's flyout.
After Ben Zobrist was intentionally walked by Brad Brach (5-1), Andrew Miller relieved and threw a ball to Ryan Hanigan as Zobrist moved up on defensive indifference. Miller then threw an outside pitch that glanced off Hundley's glove and rolled to the backstop as Escobar sprinted home.
Playing its 2,733rd regular-season game, Tampa Bay won for the first time on a game-ending passed ball, according to STATS. Baltimore had not lost on a game-ending passed ball since at least 1974, STATS said.
