Luis Garcia pitched seven innings and allowed one earned run on two hits. Beau Brieske threw five innings, allowing three earned runs and five hits, and Rafael Montero closed it out with a one-two-three ninth.

Eduardo Rodriguez is 0-2 with a 5.33 ERA in five starts. He has allowed three home runs and walked eight over the last five games. The Tigers have gone 2-10 over 12 games this season. Miguel Cabrera is hitting .269 with one home run and seven RBIs. Robbie Grossman is batting .270 with seven hits and one RBI.

Framber Valdez is starting for Houston against the Oakland Athletics. Valdes lost to Toronto Blue Jays last week. The Astros are looking for their sixth win in a row. Jose Altuve returned to the lineup this week after a few weeks out with an injury. Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, and Yuli Guriel are struggling. Houston needs their offense to score at least five runs.

Both games have had identical scores of 3-2. The better pick here is an Astros win.
