The Astros lost the series opener 3-1 yesterday, so they need to win this afternoon to avoid elimination. During the Game 1 loss, Houston’s starting pitcher Framber Valdez gave up three runs in the second inning. He allowed three straight singles with two outs in the inning, which ultimately made the difference in the game.

Houston’s offense also struggled in the matchup, as the team didn’t score until the ninth inning. The Astros had two runners in scoring position, with only one out in the final frame, but the team was unable to score again.

The Tigers were able to dominate defensively in the first game as their starting pitcher Tarik Skubal did not allow any runs in six innings. What’s remarkable is that he only conceded four goals in the entire game. If the Tigers continue to play at a high level this afternoon, they could secure their spot in the next round of the MLB playoffs.
