The Houston Astros have been shut out in back-to-back games, but they remain 1.5 games up on the Seattle Mariners in the AL West heading into their series final

The Tigers hammered Houston for six runs in the first inning to set up a 7-2 victory and a series sweep of the AL West leaders.

The Tigers won a pitching duel between Tarik Skubal and Hunter Brown on a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning on Tuesday.

Although a just-barely, oppo taco two-run homer by Mauricio Dubon ended a 31-inning Astros scoring drought, that was all the scoring the team could muster en route to another humiliating defeat and lopsided series sweep at the hands of A.J. Hinch’s Detroit Tigers.
