• DETROIT (AP) -- Frost coming off their breath, Pablo Sandoval and the San Francisco Giants finished their workout at Comerica Park, headed back to the clubhouse and pulled off their hooded sweatshirts and parkas.
• Halfway to a championship, they weren't about to let a little chill bother them.
• "The cold weather, obviously we're going to have to deal with," pitcher Ryan Vogelsong said Friday. "But it's the World Series."
• The Giants take a 2-0 lead over the Detroit Tigers into Game 3 on Saturday night, with Vogelsong set to start against Anibal Sanchez.

• "Sometimes you can't explain it," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said before a workout Friday. "In our case, we've had trouble all year with left-handed pitching, which is strange because we have a lot of good hitters on the team."
• "It'll be a nice change, obviously, to face a right-hander because we've had more success," he said."
• The Tigers will see Vogelsong, followed by fellow right-hander Matt Cain in Game 4.
• "We've gone through spurts this whole season where we've thrown the ball like
