That’s not the way you want to start a homestand, is it? The Tigers dropped a sad one against the Jose Altuve-less Houston Astros, 8-1, on Monday evening.
Matthew Boyd started the Tigers off on the wrong foot for the opener of three against the always dangerous Houston Astros. Despite getting through the frightening top four hitters unscathed, in the second he served up a two-out solo home run to Aledmys Diaz, and after a walk to Tyler White, Robinson Chirinos hit a laser beam out to right-centre to put the Astros up 3-0.
