Valdez throws shutout against Tigers


Framber Valdez pitched his first career shutout and the Houston Astros beat the Detroit Tigers 7-0 on Monday night.

Valdez (15-5) posted his 24th straight quality start, tying New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom (2018) for the longest single-season streak.

"This means a lot to me because it means I'm helping the team when I'm pitching," Valdez said through a translator. "They help me with their great defense and their offense, and I know I'm giving them a chance to win."
