The Tigers and Astros continue their four‑game set tonight at Comerica Park after Houston edged Detroit 2–1 in last night’s opener. Tatsuya Imaihas struggled for much of his first season playing in North America but he was brilliant last night allowing just two hits while striking out ten over the course of six innings of shutout ball. Taylor Trammellcracked his second home run of the season in the sixth to account for Houston’s first run and Isaac Paredescapped the scoring for the visitors with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The Tigers were shutout until Dillon Dinglerhomered in the ninth.
The Astros have now won three of four games against the Tigers this season. Houston is now 7-3 in their last 10 games, pulled to within 1.5 games of first place Seattle in the AL West. The Tigers have now lost three straight and are eight games behind the White Sox and the Guardians who sit atop the AL Central.
Tonight’s pitching matchup features Spencer Arrighetti (7–3, 3.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) for Houston against Keider Montero (3–5, 3.68 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) for Detroit. Arrighetti has struck out 68 batters and allowed just six home runs in 69 innings, while Montero has been efficient with 53 strikeouts and only 17 walks across 80.2 innings.
Diamond Note: The Astros are 24–9 in games in which they have scored at least five runs.
