After seven very good innings, that is the night for Anibal Sanchez.
Benoit is the first guy out of the Tiger pen.
Sanchez really settled down after that rocky second inning and held the Giants from adding to their two-run lead and ended up striking out eight.
Scutaro leads off the eighth by grounding out to second.
Berry strikes out on three pitches and the Tigers come away empty again.
Not even sure that even the biggest Giant fans saw this coming.

Sanchez comes out for the seventh.
Blanco grounded to third and the throw caused Fielder to fall down.
Replays showed that Blanco might have been safe as Fielder did not keep his foot on the bag, but no one made an argument for the Giants.
After Sanchez was retired, Crawford singles to center.
Leyland must have no confidence in his pen as Sanchez is at 112 pitches.
