Astros 3, Tigers 2: Late heroics, strong start fall short with Houston walk-off

Thursday night’s Detroit Tigers’ game was an emotional roller coaster.

Miguel Cabrera continued to add to his legacy, the pitching dominated up until the final inning and the offense was listless until they went down to their final strike.

They ended the night, though, with a 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros.

It didn’t take Houston long to take the lead. On the first pitch Tarik Skubal threw, Jose Altuve, the home team’s leadoff hitter, took the lefty deep to left field, giving the Astros an immediate 1-0 advantage.

Talk about a rough start.
