MLB
The Detroit Tigers managed only one hit against a collection of Houston relievers, and lost 1-0 to the Astros last night. Brad Peacock came out of the bullpen to make a spot start. He pitched into the fourth, and struck out eight. Mikie Mahtook’s single in the third was the only blemish on his record. Three relievers closed out the shutout. Michael Fulmer took the hard-luck loss, giving up a run in the first inning, before pitching through the seventh.
The Tigers continue that series at Houston tonight. Jordan Zimmermann will start against Lance McCullers Jr. Pregame coverage will begin at 7:45 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.

Warwick Saupold has been called up to replace him.
