Tigers 3, Astros 2. [Boxscore]

Summary: Power bats and Porcello bring the Cats their 8th straight win.

Pitching: Porcello turned in another quality start, his 4th of the season out of 6 starts, earning another win. Tossing 100 pitches (63 strikes) over 6.2 innings, he yielded a paltry 2 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. [Video overview of start]

- Season line: 5-1, 3.49 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, with 27/6 K/BB in 38.2 IP.

Chamberlain took over with 2 outs in the 7th and did the 8th (striking out the side) as well, whiffing 3 and keeping the Astros off the basepaths. He earned himself a hold. [Video of the side-fanning]

- Season line: 1-1, 1/1 Sv/Opp, 6 Holds, 18/3 K/BB in 12.2 IP.

Nathan came in for the 9th and nailed the door shut, but not after allowing a walk. He struck out 2 for the save.

- Season line: 2-0, 7/9 Sv/Opp, 4.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, with 14/7 K/BB in 12.2 IP.
