Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel tossed a gem against the Tigers Thursday.
Keuchel ran into trouble just twice against the powerful Tigers' lineup. Nick Castellanos clubbed an RBI double in the second inning, and Victor Martinez managed a solo shot in the fourth. In the first, third, fifth and sixth innings, Keuchel faced the minimum amount of hitters.
Keuchel ran into some trouble in the seventh, allowing two base-runners, but managed to strike out Torii Hunter to get out of the inning. After giving up a single with two outs in the eighth, Keuchel was replaced by Anthony Bass.
Keuchel gave up two runs on six hits over 7 2/3 innings. He struck out seven hitters and did not issue any walks. The win brought Keuchel's record to 3-2. His next start will come against the Rangers.
