Friday night’s affair between the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros was rained out, which means the teams’ fans get a two-for-one on Saturday as the two squads are now scheduled for an afternoon doubleheader. The ‘Stros took the first of the four-game series on Thursday with authority, pounding José Ureña and the Olde English D in a 12-3 win. Now, only one team will finish the day with the series lead — with luck, it will be the Tigers.
However, Detroit has a bit of an uphill battle as Houston sends two hurlers to the bump who have performed well so far in 2021, while the good guys have their former number one pick slotted as well as a pitcher who really has no business as a starter.
