HOUSTON (AP) --- Raynel Delgado drove in two runs in the eighth inning in his
second major league game to help lift the Houston Astros to a 4-2 win over the
Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
With Houston down 2-1, Delgado hit a single to center field that sent Yainer
Diaz and Cam Smith home.
The Astros added another run later in the inning, after Joey Loperfido ran home
on Jeremy Pea's groundout to first. After review, Pea was ruled safe at first
and the run counted.
Diaz returned from the injured list after being out for more than two months
with an oblique strain. Starting pitcher Hunter Brown also returned from the
injured list after sustaining a shoulder strain in April. Brown pitched 5 2/3
innings, striking out seven. He gave up three hits and walked three, and gave
up a run.
Bryan King (2-1) pitched the eighth inning, throwing 11 pitches, seven of them
strikes. He walked one and gave up a run. Josh Hader earned his third save of
the season, striking out Jake Rogers to end the game.
Hao-Yu Lee hit an RBI single in the second for the Tigers for a 1-0 lead. The
Astros tied the game in the fifth after Delgado made it home on a passed ball
by Dillon Dingler at the plate. Lee scored on Dingler's flyout in the eighth.
Kieder Montero (3-5) entered the game in the seventh for the Tigers. He pitched
1 1/3 innings, striking out two, giving up two hits, and one run.
Colt Keith was scratched from the Tigers' lineup due to a sore right wrist.
Up next
RHP Casey Mize (2-3, 2.27 ERA) is scheduled to make his return from the injured
list for the Tigers on Wednesday for the final game of the series. RHP Peter
Lambert (5-4, 3.47) will start for the Astros.
