Valdez walked his first two hitters. Andy Ibáñez lined a sinker up the middle for an RBI single. Spencer Torkelson flared a changeup down the right-field line; it fell fair and bounced into the seats for a ground-rule double, putting men on second and third. Wild pitches allowed both to score.

The Tigers and Astros have met in two wildly different games, despite the same coming out on top. After thumping the Astros 10-0 on Monday night, Detroit and Houston went into extras deadlocked at zero. However, several good at-bats by the Tigers in the 10th inning led to them scoring the game-winning run on a Gleyber Torres.

Watching the Houston Astros play baseball recently has been painful, especially for their fans. The Astros, behind a shaky start from lefty Framber Valdez, lost to the Detroit Tigers, 7-2, on Wednesday as Detroit earned a three-game sweep. The Astros' offense has been anemic with hitters simply looking lethargic at the plate.
