DETROIT -- The Astros got an early lead on a fielding error by Ian Kinsler, but J.D. Martinez slugged the Tigers back into the lead with a three-run blast in the third inning. The Tigers never again trailed and won 6-2 over the Houston Astros, locking up the second game of the series and extending their winning streak to three-games.
Of the six runs scored by the Detroit offense, all occurred with two outs. The last time the Astros were playing in Comerica Park before this series, J.D. Martinez was an Astro, and he slugged a Max Scherzer pitch to deep left-center field for a homer.
