Trailing 5-2 in the seventh, Miguel Cabrera pulled the Tigers within one with a homer off Astros reliever Chad Qualls before Detroit manufactured a run in the eighth to tie the game. Astros third baseman Marwin Gonzalez's throwing error allowed J.D. Martinez to reach second with no outs on a slow grounder. He would score on Tyler Collins' single.
