Top 5th: Tigers 9, Astros 3
Matt Boyd labored a little bit in the fifth inning, but he was never really threatened after Tyler White drew a leadoff walk to leadoff the frame.
Jake Marisnick flew out to center field, George Springer struck out swinging in a lengthy at-bat and Marwin Gonzalez did the same to become Boyd's sixth strikeout victim.
Because of the extended inning (25 pitches, 100 total), Boyd isn't going to be around for the sixth. He did, however, put himself in position to pick up the win tonight by finishing the fifth.
