The Houston Astros shut out the Detroit Tigers at home on Sunday, and that would not have been possible without an incredible catch from Kyle Tucker on what should have been a home run.
Tucker helped Houston preserve the shutout when he robbed Javy Baez of a homer in the top of the ninth. He timed his jump perfectly and made an outstanding play.
ROBBERY!!

The Astros gave up just one hit as a team. Starter Jake Odorizzi pitched five innings of one-hit ball before Cristian Javier and Hector Neris combine for four hitless frames. If not for the outstanding grab from Tucker, Neris’ line would have looked a lot worse.
