Sabol homered against his childhood friend, Michael Lorenzen, but the Giants blew leads of 4-0 and 6-1.
DETROIT — Over breakfast burritos in a suburb about 30 minutes from Comerica Park, two California kids caught up and envisioned the matchup that awaited them Saturday. I want you in there, Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen told Giants rookie Blake Sabol, because I’m gonna punch you out. OK, Sabol responded, trade you a strikeout for a home run.Competitive, sure. But fortune tellers? Apparently.
Sabol made a costly defensive miscue in left field, too, which allowed two runs to score and extended Detroit’s three-run eighth inning that tied the game. While Lorenzen and Sabol’s older brother, Stefan, traveled the country on select teams, Blake accompanied them and found his own role: batboy. It wasn’t long before he began starring on his own travel teams, eventually heading to USC and then onto the pros, but the age gap meant Sabol and Lorenzen had never faced each other — besides the whiffle ball games at the Sabol family home and, more recently, the offseason training sessions they take part in together.
