The Houston Astros took the lead against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday after outfielder Chas McCormick blasted his first home run of the season. That two-run home run gave Houston a 2-0 lead.
McCormick's home run travelled 368 feet, came off the bat at 100-mph, and had a launch angle of 40 degrees.

Houston will try to avoid the sweep by Detroit before setting off on a road trip that will begin in Minnesota against the Twins on Friday. It was originally slated for Thursday, but the game has been postponed due to weather.
