For the first time since 2005, the Houston Astros have been swept out of the MLB playoffs.
The American League West champions fell 5-2 to the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series.
After their offense mustered little for the second day in a row, the Astros briefly turned the game on its head in the seventh inning.
With the bases loaded and nobody out, pinch hitter Jon Singleton grounded to first and Spencer Torkelson was unable to make a clean throw home, which allowed Victor Caratini to score. Then Jeremy Peña took advantage of Matt Vierling's brief moment of hesitation while fielding a fly ball to tag up from third to give Houston a 2-1 lead.
