Astros rally for 8-6 win over Tigers, keeping AJ Hinch at 999 career victories
By DAVE HOGG
Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) --- Isaac Paredes hit a two-run double in the eighth inning and
the Houston Astros spoiled their former manager's opportunity at a milestone
victory by rallying for an 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch entered the game with 999 victories, including 481
with Houston between 2015 and 2019, but his bullpen couldn't get him to 1,000.
The Astros trailed 6-5 going into the eighth, but Jeremy Pea's RBI single off
Will Vest tied the game, with center fielder James Outman's error putting
runners on second and third with two outs. Paredes, who started his career with
the Tigers, followed with a two-run double to right, giving Houston an 8-6 lead.
Bryan King pitched a perfect eighth and Josh Hader retired the Tigers in order
in the ninth for his seventh save.
Houston took a 2-0 lead on Cam Smith's homer in the second inning and added
another run in the third when Jose Altuve hit into a run-scoring double play.
Detroit, though, loaded the bases with one out in the third on a walk, Altuve's
fielding error and a hit batter. Kai-Wei Teng then hung a 1-2 curveball to
Kerry Carpenter, who launched it over the right-field fence for his third
career grand slam.
Pea's RBI single made it 4-4 in the fourth, but Spencer Torkelson's two-out
double gave the Tigers a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the inning and ended Teng's
afternoon.
Hao-Yu Lee's home run off Steven Okert put the Tigers up 6-4 in the fifth, but
Christian Walker's RBI single made it 6-5 in the seventh.
