Play: Houston Astros
Rating: 8*
The Houston Astros are 6-2 in the last eight meetings with the Detroit Tigers.
Collin McHugh (7-6, 4.18 ERA) takes the ball for Houston. He's 0-2 with a 3.72 ERA in three career starts against the Tigers, but the right-hander is coming into this game red hot after back-to-back wins with a total of two earned runs allowed with 16 Ks over 12 innings of work. The Astros have won six of his last seven starts overall and four of his last five on the road.
The Tigers turn to left-hander Matt Boyd (1-2, 4.63) who surrendered three runs in 4 1/3 frames of a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday. The 25-year-old struggled in his lone encounter with Houston on Aug. 16 last year when he was tagged with five runs in as many innings of a no-decision.
Detroit and Houston were both off Thursday, and the extended rest will make the home advantage less noticeable.
