Tigers' Jack Flaherty, Four Homers Lead 10-0 Rout of Astros

Jack Flaherty delivered a dominant pitching performance, striking out nine batters over seven scoreless innings to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 10-0 rout of the Houston Astros. Flaherty allowed only three hits and one walk, retiring the final 11 batters he faced, marking his longest start since last year and his first seven-inning outing with the Tigers. The Tigers' offense was fueled by home runs from Wenceel Pérez, Riley Greene, Trey Sweeney, and Colt Keith, contributing to a four-inning stretch where all 10 runs were scored. Detroit improved to 74-53, winning five of their last six games, while the Astros fell to 69-56. Notable moments included Pérez hitting his 10th home run of the season and Sweeney redeeming an early strikeout with a triple and a three-run homer later in the game. The teams are set to continue their three-game series with a matchup featuring Tigers ace Tarik Skubal against Astros' Hunter Brown.
