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.

Detroit is in a good spot for a first-round bye, but there are still too many teams within shouting distance to fully relax. In the National League, the Brewers are a full five games ahead of the Tigers, while the Phillies, Cubs, and Dodgers are all within two games of Detroit.

Tarik Skubal struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings in a duel against Wayne State alumnus Hunter Brown in the Tigers' 1-0 win.

Gleyber Torres drew a 10th-inning walk to send home Wenceel Pérez and give the Detroit Tigers a 1-0 win over Houston, the Astros third consecutive shutout loss.
