    Imai's Gem Lifts Astros Past Tigers 2-1 in Game 1 Thriller

    Back on the road and now in Detroit for their 3-game series against the Tigers, the Astros are far from dead in the AL West race as they pull out of yesterday's Game 1 duel with a 2-1 victory, strengthening their stake and claim for the West's top seed. Outstandingly, Tatsuya Imai staves off the Tigers for 6 innings with 10 strikeouts, 2 hits allowed, and no runs allowed, giving the Astros a chance to pull out the win, making it now their 4th consecutive series won. Looking back on last night's tight pitching duel, Dan and Josh review Tatsuya Imai's outing and toss around possible scenarios of what the Astros potential starting rotation could look like in the near future with depth replenishing and players producing at their full potential.
