DETROIT -- After waiting out a rain delay that lasted about as long as a normal game, Jake Peavy was convinced he could go back to the mound. Eddie Yarbrough Jersey . Giants manager Bruce Bochy wasnt about to stop him. "He was so adamant that he was good to go," Bochy said. "I think it would have crushed him not to go back out there. You just trust Jake." Peavy ended up pitching six innings -- three before the delay and three after it -- without allowing an earned run, and San Francisco routed the Detroit Tigers 8-2 on Friday night. Pablo Sandoval homered for the Giants, who are two games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. The Tigers fell two games behind first-place Kansas City in the AL Central -- and now trail Seattle by a half-game for the second wild card. The Giants scored six runs in three innings against Rick Porcello (15-10) and led 6-0 when a severe storm came through downtown Detroit, delaying the game for 2 hours, 42 minutes. When play resumed, Peavy (4-4) stayed in. He allowed two unearned runs in the fifth, but that was it. "You just listen to your body. I felt good," Peavy said. "Tonight was a big one. Every games big. We know that." Playing in Detroit for the first time since winning the World Series there in 2012, the Giants scored a run in the first, three in the second and two in the third. Porcello allowed five earned runs and 10 hits in three innings, and also dealt with an injury scare when a comebacker by Brandon Crawford hit his right foot in the third. "The ball hit me between the ankle and the heel, and its sore, but Ill be fine," Porcello said. "It isnt going to be a problem." Porcello stayed in the game and got the third out of the inning. After the Tigers batted in the bottom half, the heavy rain moved in. Sandovals solo homer in the sixth -- his 16th of the year -- made it 8-2. San Francisco opened the scoring on Sandovals RBI single in the first, and Travis Ishikawa added one of his own in the second. Angel Pagans run-scoring groundout made it 3-0, and Joe Paniks infield single brought another run home. Panik actually made the third out on that play in strange fashion. Second baseman Ian Kinslers throw got past first base, but catcher Bryan Holaday was backing it up. He threw to first, and Panik -- who appeared to have turned ever so slightly toward second after overrunning first -- was tagged out. Peavy allowed six hits and struck out three. HEAVY RAIN After San Franciscos early barrage of hits, it became clear that the biggest threat to the Giants on this night would likely come from the weather. The game wasnt official yet when the delay started. "If you looked at the radar, it wasnt pretty. We finally got a window there to get things going," Bochy said. "It was a long wait, but well worth it. The last thing we wanted to do was start this thing over." With debris sailing around in the wind, the Detroit grounds crew overcame difficult circumstances to put the tarp on the field. Head groundskeeper Heather Nabozny injured her right knee and had to have an MRI. The team said she is out indefinitely. EARLY EXITS: Saturdays game will start less than 13 hours after Fridays ended, and Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said he sent some of his players home after they were subbed out of Fridays loss. "I told the guys that I took out of the game to go home and try to get some sleep with another game coming so soon," he said. TRAINERS ROOM Giants: OF Michael Morse (strained oblique) received a cortisone injection, and the Giants hope he can return for the teams next series, at home against Arizona. Tigers: RHP Joakim Soria threw off a mound and hopes to throw batting practice Monday as he works his way back from a strained left oblique.

His numbers said it all. DeMarcus Cousins had 25 points and 10 rebounds, Gay added 24 points and 10 rebounds, and the Kings held off the Raptors in the fourth quarter for a 109-101 victory. The Dec. 9 trade brought Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to Sacramento in exchange for Patterson, John Salmons, Greivis Vasquez and Chuck Hayes. The trade has worked well for both teams. Since the shake-up, the Raptors have compiled an 18-11 record and own the third best overall record in the Eastern Conference. They had an 8-12 mark before the deal. Gay has thrived in his role as a key figure offensively. The versatile forward has averaged 20.7 points and shot 53 per cent in his first 25 games with the Kings. Gay wasnt nearly as effective with the Raptors, shooting just under 39 per cent in his second season in Toronto. "It was great to see Rudy have such a successful game tonight," said Gray, who didnt play. "No matter what the scenario, its really important when you go against your ex-team. You always want to show them what theyre missing. I think Rudy did that." Toronto coach Dwane Casey wished his team was a little more focused on effort rather than the socializing that took place between the two teams. "I just thought our whole disposition was off. Were out there hugging and giving out fives and all that," Casey said. "Well, this is a business. I didnt think our disposition at the beginning of the game was in fighting mode or hungry mode. We havent done anything, Ill keep repeating this, we havent done anything in this league yet." The Kings led by 20 points going into the final quarter, when Toronto got going offensively and cut the lead to five points with under a minute to play. But the Kings conveerted six consecutive free throws in the final minute to seal their second straight victory after losing seven straight. Russell Bodine Jersey. "I think we kept our composure, were very poised down the stretch, and came out with a good home victory," Cousins said. Kyle Lowry had 21 points, eight assists and seven rebounds for the Raptors, who had won four of their last five. Demar DeRozan scored 18 points, Patrick Patterson 14 and Steve Novak 12, all in the fourth quarter. DeRozan, who entered the game averaging 22 points, shot 5 of 17. He added six rebounds and four assists. Novak played only 34 seconds through three quarters, but in the fourth he hit three three-pointers, helping the Raptors outscore the Kings 29-17. "The game was bizarre; we made it interesting," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "Im glad they didnt play Steve Novak more or it would have been a long night." Isaiah Thomas added 23 points for the Kings and guard Marcus Thornton had 12, all in the first half. Thornton hit the floor hard at the offensive end late in the second quarter and didnt return. He bruised hip and knee in the fall, but X-rays were negative. He may get an MRI on Thursday. New NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who took over for David Stern on Saturday as the leagues fifth commissioner, attended the game. He drew a standing ovation when he was introduced to the sellout crowd Before the game, Silver toured Sacramentos planned downtown arena and sat with the Kings new ownership group during a portion of the game.
