Houston Defeated By Tigers, 4-0
Tim Woods never let the Astros get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his circle change, to pitch the Tigers to a win, 4-0. Detroit leads the American League Central Division by 6 games.

Raúl González had a big 3-run home run for the Tigers in the bottom of the third inning. With Detroit leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a changeup from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Lachlan Madden and punished it. The result was his 20th home run of the season, which put the Tigers on top, 4-0.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," González said.
