The Houston Astros host the Detroit Tigers in a best-of-three game set to determine one of the ALDS series.

Chicago White Sox v Detroit Tigers
Detroit and Houston met twice this season for three games each, with the Astros winning two of them both times to lead the season, four-to-two. In their last meeting, on June 16 at MMP, Ronel Blanco (7-2, 2.43) earned the win by pitching seven shutout innings, allowing zero hits and three walks while striking out eight. Josh Hader allowed a run in an non-save situation as Houston came out on top, 4-1. Jose Altuve (11) went deep, while both he and Yordan Alvarez collected multiple hits.

A no-hitter for seven innings? That’s pretty damn good. — Joe Espada
