The game started off tight with both teams locked in a pitching duel. Through 5 innings, neither team could break through, it was all zeroes across the board. The real magic started in the 6th inning when Kyle Tucker said "enough is enough" and cranked a homer to right, bringing in Mauricio Dubon to score and opening the floodgates for the Astros.
The excitement was just getting started.7th Inning: Astros Break It Open

Singles from Alex Bregman, Joey Loperfido, and Jake Meyers (pinch hitting for Trey Cabbage) started to really put the pressure on the Tigers, pushing our lead up to 4-0. The Astros were absolutely relentless, showcasing their ability to capitalize on every opportunity and making us proud!Astros Unleash in the 8th
But why stop there? The 8th inning was an absolute clinic by the Astros. Yordan Alvarez kicked things off with a double, and then the hits just kept on coming. With some help from a fielding error by the Tigers' left fielder, we piled on four more runs, bringing the lead to a whopping 8-0. At this point, the Astros fanbase was buzzing with excitement, and for good reason.
The Tigers Attempt to Rally
Not to be completely outdone, the Tigers made a last-ditch effort in the bottom of the 9th. A triple by Akil Baddoo that lead to Detroit’s first run on a balk, followed by a two-run homer from Spencer Torkelson, briefly threatened our victory lap. But, proving too little too late, the Astros closed it out, showing off their defensive skills and ending the game with a dominant 9-3 victory.Closing Thoughts
