Tigers Edge Astros, 3-2
In a low-scoring affair between the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros, pitcher Chris McCurdy was the difference between victory and defeat. The Detroit right-hander earned accolades in the 3-2 Tigers win. Detroit goes to 4-6.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Chris Wheatley came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Houston pitcher Brian Lynch, he hit a first pitch cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 3-2.

McCurdy attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
