The Detroit Tigers have dominated the Houston Astros and look to complete their second sweep of the season against the worst team in the majors when a three-game series concludes Wednesday at Comerica Park. Detroit swept a four-game set in Houston earlier this month before posting 7-2 and 6-2 home wins the last two nights. The Tigers have outscored the Astros 50-12 in six games and Miguel Cabrera is batting .417 with three homers.
