Pinch-hitter Kerry Carpenter singled off reliever Bryan Abreu with one out in the eighth inning for the Detroit Tigers’ first hit off Houston after Framber Valdez pitched seven hitless innings. Valdez was removed after matching his career high with 114 pitches. The 29-year-old left-hander no-hit the Cleveland Guardians on Aug. 1. Making his fourth start since then, he struck out six, walked five and hit a batter. Abreu relieved Valdez starting the eighth with the Astros ahead 1-0. He retired Matt Vierling on an infield popup and Carpenter, batting for Andy Ibañez, grounded a single between first and second.
