The Houston Astros have been shut out in back-to-back games, but they remain 1.5 games up on the Seattle Mariners in the AL West heading into their series final

The Tigers and Astros have met in two wildly different games, despite the same coming out on top. After thumping the Astros 10-0 on Monday night, Detroit and Houston went into extras deadlocked at zero. However, several good at-bats by the Tigers in the 10th inning led to them scoring the game-winning run on a Gleyber Torres.
