Blanco Twirls Gem As Astros Tame Tigers

Ronel Blanco was unhittable in Houston's 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers at Minute Maid Park. Blanco struck out eight and didn't allow a hit during seven shutout innings to record his seventh win. Detroit broke up Houston's no-hitter bid in the eighth, but the Astros held on for the win. Jose Altuve homered and drove in three runs during the victory. The Astros have won two of three and sit third in the AL West at 33-and-39. They visit the Chicago White Sox tomorrow night.
