Jackson Jobe leads Detroit Tigers to shutout victory over Giants

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jackson Jobe made a successful return to the major leagues on Saturday at Oracle Park, pitching five scoreless innings against the San Francisco Giants. This appearance followed a 14-month absence due to Tommy John surgery performed in 2025. Jobe recorded four strikeouts and allowed only one hit, a single by Willy Adames.

The Tigers secured an 8-0 shutout victory, fueled by a six-run seventh inning. Key contributions included an RBI double from Dillon Dingler, a two-run double from Eduardo Valencia, and an RBI triple from Max Clark. Relievers Tyler Holton and Ty Madden completed the two-hit shutout performance.

In related roster moves, the Tigers activated Jobe from the 60-day injured list, optioning reliever Brennan Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo to accommodate him. Additionally, the team signed veteran catcher Seby Zavala to a minor league deal to provide depth for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens.
