With a tantalizing pitching matchup of young aces like Hunter Brown of the Astros and Tarik Skubal of the Tigers, it’s not surprising runs were hard to come by Tuesday night. For Houston, it’s becoming all too commonplace.

The Tigers won a pitching duel between Tarik Skubal and Hunter Brown on a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning on Tuesday.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers will go for a three-game sweep on Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers (75-53) play the Houston Astros (69-57) at 1:10 p.m. at Comerica Park. Infielders Colt Keith, Zach McKinstry and Trey Sweeney; and outfielder Kerry Carpenter will be available off the bench. The full lineup is below.

For the first time since the 1985 season, the Astros have been shut out in three consecutive games after losing in 10 innings Tuesday.

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.

In the bottom of the 10th, Andy Ibanez hit a sacrifice fly against Caleb Ort to advance their extra runner. Ort allowed an intentional walk, struck out Javier Baez, and then walked in the winning run by walking Jahmai Jones and Gleyber Torres successively to end the game.

The Houston Astros could stay in the American League or move into a new conference in two proposed MLB realignments.
