Astros Drop Tigers, 8-7
The Houston Astros picked up a win at Comerica Park, dropping the Detroit Tigers, 8-7. Lance McCullers Jr., who finished 3rd in the AL in ERA with 3.46 in 2026, was the difference-maker. Toru Konno, credited with the save, is now 3 for 3 in save opportunities. The Astros raised their record to 43-57.

Alejandro Kirk, who is a three-time All-Star, had a timely hit in the top of the sixth inning. With two out and a runner on 2nd, the Houston catcher hit a run-scoring single. That put the Astros in front, 8-7.

"Nice win for us," said Kirk. "Now we'll go after the next one."
