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

DETROIT -- Tarik Skubal capped a brilliant outing with his 200th strikeout of the season, and Gleyber Torres drew a walk-off walk for the 500th RBI of his career as the Detroit Tigers beat the Houston Astros 1-0 in 10 innings on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.

The Astros went 1-2-3 in the top of the second. Wenceel Perez, really having himself a nice later part of the season, hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the inning. He did get caught stealing, though, and the Tigers weren’t able to get another baserunner in the inning.

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

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.
