Live blog: Tigers drop a slugfest in Houston

FINAL: ASTROS 7, TIGERS 6

The Astros hit five home runs as they outslugged the Tigers and took three out of four games in this series with a 7-6 win Thursday night.

Justin Upton and J.D. Martinez both homered for the Tigers, while Jose Iglesias drove in two runs with a pair of RBI doubles.

Justin Verlander was cruising through three innings, but then it all went south as Verlander gave up three home runs in the fourth inning. He would pitch into the sixth, but he was shown the door before he could finish it off.
