Tigers Win at Houston, 6-2
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Houston Astros, 6-2, in part because of pitcher António Peña. Peña came in in relief and pitched to 25 batters for the Tigers. Curt Nance recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 1 for 1. The victory gives Detroit a record of 72-41.

Tony Holman could have done more damage. In the bottom of the ninth, with Houston trailing 6-1, Houston had the bases loaded. That's when Holman hit a sacrifice fly. But it was not enough. Detroit would go on to win the game.
