Astros pitching surrendered five home runs to the Tigers tonight, including three off Houston’s premier off-season acquisition, Jake Odorizzi. It was Odorizzi’s first appearance as an Astro, who went only 3.1 innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits.
Odorizzi cruised until the 3rd inning, when he gave up a homer to Akil Badoo, who got his fourth of the season and second in two nights against the Astros. The wheels fell off for Odorizzi in the fourth, when he gave up two, two-run homers, one to Nomar Mazara, and the other to Renato Nunez.
Wilson Ramos added two more Tigers home runs, one in the fifth off Bryan Abreu, and another in the ninth off Nivaldo Rodriguez.
