The Tigers hammered Houston for six runs in the first inning to set up a 7-2 victory and a series sweep of the AL West leaders.

Correa was brought back to Houston to aid in the second-half push, and he’s made it clear his return meant another voice in the clubhouse. During his first stint with the Astros, Correa made his leadership known throughout multiple postseason runs, with the ultimate run coming in 2017 when they won the World Series.

Watching the Houston Astros play baseball recently has been painful, especially for their fans. The Astros, behind a shaky start from lefty Framber Valdez, lost to the Detroit Tigers, 7-2, on Wednesday as Detroit earned a three-game sweep. The Astros' offense has been anemic with hitters simply looking lethargic at the plate.

Framber Valdez faces former Astro Charlie Morton as Houston tries to end a three-game scoreless streak in day game at Detroit.

The Astros' offense has been missing in action during the team's recent slump but Houston finally ended its scoring drought on Wednesday.

Gleyber Torres drew a 10th-inning walk to send home Wenceel Pérez and give the Detroit Tigers a 1-0 win over Houston on Tuesday night, the Astros third consecutive shutout loss. Pérez started the 10th as the automatic runner on second base and took third on Andy Ibáñez's fly to deep right.

The Houston Astros received a lot of criticism when they decided to trade All-Star right fielder Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs.

Logan VanWey made seven appearances earlier in the season for the  Astros and has been at Sugar Land. Tayler Scott was designated for assignment.
