It seems Kyle Tucker is there every time the Astros need a clutch hit. On Thursday night, Houston walked-off the Tigers to get a 3-2 victory, thanks to an opposite-field RBI single by Tucker. Houston also had important contributions from José Urquidy, José Altuve, and rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña.
After Jeimer Candelario tied the game in the top ninth with a two-run shot against Ryan Pressly –who returned from the injured list—, the Astros didn’t wait too long to get things done. Facing Tigers’ closer Gregory Soto, Tucker found two men on base and delivered a single to bring people to their feet at Minute Maid Park.
