Summary
Framber Valdez returned to Houston as a Tiger, delivering a solid six-inning performance with just one run allowed — but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers fell 4-2. The game flipped in the bottom of the eighth when a third baseman’s error loaded the bases, leading to a two-run single that put Houston ahead for good. Valdez showed veteran grit, escaping a jam in the third, but the Tigers’ offense couldn’t capitalize. Later, a controversial ground ball that should’ve been a double play ended up scoring another run after replay review, sealing the loss. The Tigers now trail significantly in both the division and wild card race as they close out the series against the Astros — a matchup that’s highlighted both their strengths and glaring weaknesses.
