HOUSTON — Once again, the Detroit Tigers were on the losing end of a baseball game.
It wasn't even close.
A grand slam from Aledmys Díaz with two outs in the third was more than enough for the Houston Astros, as the Tigers lost Sunday's series finale, 5-0, swept in four games at Minute Maid Park.
The Tigers (8-19) tallied one hit, three walks and 10 strikeouts on Mother's Day and dropped their 12th game in 14 tries. Detroit has the worst record in the American League.
In the Tigers' bullpen-only game, right-hander Drew Hutchison replaced righty Wily Peralta in the third inning and loaded the bases with one out.
