When We Last Met

The Tigers dominated the Astros in their (i.e. the Astros’) first season in the American League. Houston was obviously still in the middle of their tear-down-to-build-up project, but Detroit’s six-games-to-one (and 55 runs to 19) shellacking  still goes into the books as a Major League beat down.
