Torkelson homers with 3 hits to lead Tigers over Astros 6-3
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 08: Ronel De Jesus Blanco #56 of the Houston Astros in the ninth inning at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on April 08, 2022 in Anaheim, California. – The Detroit Tigers needed a shot of confidence after a season-opening sweep at Tampa Bay left them 0-3.
“I just like that our guys came in and were able to flush the first series, come and play well against a good team in a tough place to play,” said Detroit manager A.J. Hinch, the former Astros skipper. “We outplayed them for a couple of games to win the series and now we can get greedy tomorrow.”The Tigers also won 7-6 in 11 innings Monday.
“It's a little disheartening when their hitters are getting more home runs than we're getting,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “Right now our right-handed hitters haven't hit the ball out of the park, it's only our left-handed hitters. So we know we're going to get going but we need a big win tomorrow before we go on the road.”The score was tied with one out in the sixth when Greene hit an infield single.
Vierling attempted to score on the play, but Alvarez’s throw home was just in time for Maldonado to tag him at the plate to end the inning.
