Tigers Cruise Past Astros

The Tigers launched four home runs to power past the Astros  6-3 in Houston.  John Hicks started things with a two-run shot and Niko Goodrum, Jim Adduci and Jeimer Candelario hit solo-homers. Drew  VerHagen tossed three innings of one-run ball in relief of injured  starter Francisco Liriano to earn the win.  Detroit enters the All-Star  break at 41-and-57, 12-and-a-half games out of first in the AL Central.  Justin Verlander gave up all four long-balls across six innings of work  to take the loss.  Houston has a five-game lead atop the AL West at  64-and-35 heading into the break.
