HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 Raynel Delgado drove in two runs in the eighth inning in his second major league game to help lift the Houston Astros to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
With Houston down 2-1, Delgado hit a single to center field that sent Yainer Diaz and Cam Smith home.<\/p>\n
The Astros added another run later in the inning, after Joey Loperfido ran home on Jeremy Pe\u00f1a’s groundout to first. After review, Pe\u00f1a was ruled safe at first and the run counted.<\/p>\n
Diaz returned from the injured list after being out for more than two months with an oblique strain.

Hao-Yu Lee hit an RBI single in the second for the Tigers for a 1-0 lead. The Astros tied the game in the fifth after Delgado made it home on a passed ball by Dillon Dingler at the plate. Lee scored on Dingler\u2019s flyout in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Kieder Montero (3-5) entered the game in the seventh for the Tigers. He pitched 1 1\/3 innings, striking out two, giving up two hits, and one run.<\/p>\n
Colt Keith was scratched from the Tigers\u2019 lineup due to a sore right wrist.<\/p>\n
