Chas McCormick, Kyle Tucker and Jeremy Peña all homered and combined for six RBIs to help the Houston Astros snap a three-game skid with an 8-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.
“We needed a win today,” McCormick said. “We played really well today ... we were dragging a bit but mentally you've got to be tough and I thought we were really mentally tough today.”
Riley Greene had two hits, including his fifth career triple for the Tigers, who fell to 2-4 this season. Zach McKinstry hit a one-out single in the third and stole second base. He advanced to third on a ground out by Ryan Kreidler before scoring on a single by Nick Maton that cut the lead to 2-1. There were two outs in the inning when Tucker doubled on a ball that bounced just in front of a diving Matt Vierling in right-center to send Bregman home and push the lead to 6-1.
It's tied for the longest active streak in the majors and the longest to open a season in his career. It's tied for the third-longest hitting streak for a player to open his Astros career and the longest since infielder Scott Moore had a nine-game streak to start the 2012 season.The Astros honored Miguel Cabrera in a pregame ceremony in what was his last trip here with the slugger set to retire at season’s end.
