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.

The Tigers are coming off a strong effort in the opening game of the series on Monday night. After a few scoreless innings, Detroit jumped out in front in the fourth before exploding for four runs in the following frame. The Tigers added four more runs in the seventh to pull away and grab a 10-0 victory.

The Houston Astros are struggling mightily offensively, but the Seattle Mariners' struggles have allowed them to remain in first place in the AL West.
