Astros Tigers Live Score Game 2 Playoffs: Highlights, Channel, Updates

The Detroit Tigers enter Wednesday’s decisive Game 2 against the Houston Astros, one win away from advancing to the MLB playoffs.

The Tigers are 1-0 heading into Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series at Minute Maid Park in Houston. They took a 3-0 lead in Game 1, but were able to hold on in the home stretch with tight performances from Tarik Skubal and the bullpen to win 3-1.

Manager AJ Hinch takes a look at what got Detroit into the playoffs and plays with Tyler Holton as the opener for Game 2. Holton pitched one inning before being replaced by Brenan Hanifee, who lasted 1⅔ innings before coming out of the bullpen Brant Hurter left.

Houston will start Detroit native (Lakeview High School in St. Clair Shores) and Wayne State graduate Hunter Brown in Game 2. Brown, a right-handed pitcher, was 11-9 with a 3-49 ERA in 30 starts. Left-hander Yusei Kukuchi, the scheduled Game 3 starter, will also be in the bullpen for Game 2 if needed.

The secret is revealed: A rare team meeting kicked off the Detroit Tigers’ stunning rise to the playoffs

First pitch is scheduled for 2:32 p.m. The game will air on ABC and be available to stream on Fubo (free trial). According to BetMGM, the Astros are the favorite in Game 2 (-185 money line) over the Tigers (+150 money line), giving the Astros a roughly 61% chance of winning and a 39% chance of the Tigers winning.

Detroit Tigers vs Houston Astros live updates, game highlights

The Tigers were defeated in the order of 1-2-3 by Hunder Brown in the third inning of four tries.

Brant Hurter put two on base and one out with a single and struck out a batter, but got Jeremy Pena to ground out to shortstop on an inning-ending double play against Trey Sweeney.

The Tigers struggle against Brown’s sinker, changeup and curveball mix. He finished the third striking out Parker Meadows and Kerry Carpenter, earning as many as five strikeouts in the first three innings.

Below, the Tigers’ pitching chaos continued. Brenan Hanifee retired the first two batters, including striking out Jose Altuve, then Hinch walked Brant Hurter to face left-handers Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez. After a walk, he managed to knock Alvarez out of the field.

Hunter Brown appeared to break through the middle of the Tigers’ lineup, but Spencer Torkelson managed to keep the inning alive on a throwing error by Jose Altuve with two outs. Zach McKinstry followed with a double to left center to put runners on second and third, but Trey Sweeney ended the inning with a groundout.

At the end of the second, Hinch went to the bullpen and had Brenan Hanifee as the first reliever. Hanifee gave up a leadoff single to Alex Bregman, but then appeared to settle with two quick outs. But he accompanied Jeremy Pena to throw two balls and then had an eight-pitch affair with Jason Heyward. Heyward hit two screws on the screws but drew them into foul and Heyward finished the attack with a strikeout on a high fastball.

The Tigers’ first two batters, Parker Meadows and Kerry Carpenter, made good contact but recorded a line out and a flyout, then Matt Vierling struck out.

Tyler Holton got Jose Altuve to come to third on a nice play by Zach McKinstry, hit Kyle Tucker on the hands with an inside sinker and then had Yordan Alvarez roll to second via a sweeper for a seven-pitch -Stop rackets.

The Tigers are hosting another watch party for local Detroit fans at Comerica Park. Yesterday, fans flocked to watch the Game 1 win.

Detroit Tigers vs. Houston Astros pregame notes

The Tigers will have most of their pitching available after Skubal’s strong start led them to victory on Tuesday. After Holton, the entire bullpen is likely to be available except for Will Vest, who pitched scoreless 1⅔ innings in relief yesterday.

The Tigers will also be able to play their preferred lineup at the plate against the right-handed Brown. Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith, who both came off the bench in Game 1 as pinch hitters to avoid Framber Valdez, are back in the lineup and Kerry Carpenter returns to the starting spot.

The Astros hitters were quiet for eight innings in Game 1, but woke up late and unleashed a frightening shock throughout Michigan. Houston couldn’t capitalize with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, but suffered a missed pitch from Beau Brieske or a fumble from Spencer Torkelson after a dramatic walk-off win.

The Tigers will have two chances today and tomorrow (if necessary) to complete the best-of-three Wild Card Series to advance to the ALDS and face the Cleveland Guardians. However, Houston is no stranger to difficult moments in October, and these young Tigers need to close out their first playoff series. The Astros are trying to maintain their streak of reaching their eighth straight AL Championship Series.
