The Astros got the win in the opener, but scored just one run in the process. They have now been held to 3 runs or less in five straight and six of their last seven. They send Fiers to the mound, who has a 6.55 ERA in two starts. The Tigers counter with Sanchez, who isn’t a big innings eater, but has just a 3.38 ERA.
