On Mother’s Day, the Astros were brilliant to complete a four-game series sweep against the Tigers with a 5-0 shutout. Jake Odorizzi stayed in good form on the mound to guide Houston to its seventh straight win and to a perfect homestand in which the Astros swept Detroit and Seattle to leave their record at 18-11.
Odorizzi was in control all game long to get his third W of the season (3-2). The veteran righty fired five scoreless innings of one-hit ball with two walks and five strikeouts. His ERA kept going down to 3.38 after 17 2/3 innings of six hits and one run, along with four bases on balls and 12 punchouts.
