DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Wenceel P\u00e9rez homered in his first at-bat in his season debut, Jack Flaherty worked six scoreless innings and Riley Greene had three hits and two RBIs as the American League-leading Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
P\u00e9rez, who had missed the entire season due to a lower back injury, hit a 2-0 pitch 351 feet to right field in the second inning for his first homer since Aug. 7.<\/p>\n
Greene has 22 RBIs in May, the first time in a calender month he has knocked in 20 runs, and has 38 RBIs overall. He is hitting .270 with six homers.<\/p>\n
Flaherty (3-6) gave up two hits and a walk while striking out eight as the Tigers won their third straight and improved to 36-20. He retired the last 11 batters he faced. Will Vest pitched the ninth for his seventh save.<\/p>\n

Greene gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the first. After P\u00e9rez homered in the second, Colt Keith led off the third with a triple and scored on Greene\u2019s second hit. He added another double in the fifth before striking out in the eighth.<\/p>\n
The Giants scored in the ninth when Heliot Ramos led off with a single and came around on a Wilmer Flores double. Greene made a sliding catch to rob Jung Hoo Lee of a base hit, and Vest retired the next two hitters to end the game.<\/p>\n
The Tigers won despite striking out 13 times in eight innings.<\/p>\n
