Detroit Tigers vs. Houston Astros: Game Highlights

Yordan Alvarez extended his on-base streak to 24 games and scored Christian Vazquez on a double for his 55th RBI of the season.

Lambert (6-4) retired nine of his first 10 batters. He gave up a leadoff single to Dillon Dingler in the fourth, and went on to retire 11 straight before Kerry Carpenter's solo homer in the seventh. He finished seven innings with five strikeouts and walked none.

Peña homered in the third inning off Casey Mize (2-4). Alvarez hit his double in the fifth to make it 2-0.

Mize gave up three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and one walk in 4 2/3 innings.

The Astros extended their lead with an Isaac Paredes RBI double and Peña's bases-loaded single in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively.

Rookie Kevin McGonigle hit his sixth homer of the year in the ninth, lifting a first-pitch fastball from Josh Hader into the left-field seats.

Hader went on to strike out the side and secure his fourth save of the season.
