Altuve's 2-Out Single In 9th Sends Astros Over Tigers

HOUSTON (AP) - Jose Altuve hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning and the Houston Astros, boosted by two homers from Colby Rasmus, beat the Detroit Tigers 6-5 Sunday.

Miguel Cabrera homered, doubled and drove in three runs for Detroit.

Jake Marisnick tripled off Tom Gorzelanny (1-2) with two outs in the Houston ninth. Alex Wilson relieved and Altuve singled on the first pitch for his third hit of the game.

The AL West-leading Astros chased Altuve as he rounded second base and rookie Carlos Correa tackled him in jubilation.
Will Harris (5-2) allowed two hits and a run in two innings for the win.
