US EditionSF Giants cap spring with MLB-best 21st win vs. Tigers. Does it matter?
- In their final tuneup for the regular season, the San Francisco Giants, under new manager Bob Melvin, defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in their spring finale on March 25, 2025, achieving their 21st Cactus League win.
- Melvin fumed early in spring training due to a lack of postgame handshake lines, but the team's performance and energy improved, leading to a better mood in camp.
- Jordan Hicks pitched efficiently, and Tyler Fitzgerald contributed with a two-run homer, while Willy Adames upped his spring average to.333 and Matt Chapman finished with a.400 batting average and tied for the Cactus League lead in home runs.
- Following the spring finale win, Melvin stated, "Just clean baseball" and "At the end it was really good," while Hicks noted, "This is the best record I've probably ever been a part of with any team in spring training."

We need to play better.” …
