It's the first time the two teams have met since the 2012 World Series.

The Giants, who have gone 8-9 against the American League this year, are coming off a series in Colorado where they dropped two of three games, but still have won 10 of their last 15 games, and sit two games behind the National League West-leading Dodgers. San Francisco is currently in the first NL Wild Card slot.

Detroit went 11-7 in its recent stretch where 15 of 18 games were on the road. The Tigers are one game behind the Kansas City Royals in the American League Central standings, and a half-game up on Seattle for the second AL Wild Card slot.

Here are Friday's lineups:

DETROIT TIGERS (77-63): 
Ian Kinsler, 2B
Torii Hunter, RF

Pitcher: Rick Porcello (15-9, 3.10 ERA)

Hunter is back in the starting lineup for the first time since Wednesday, when he fouled a ball off his foot. Miguel Cabrera (ankle) hasn't missed a game since a day off Sunday, but spent the last four games as the team's designated hitter.
