What channel is Astros vs. Tigers on today? Time, TV schedule to watch AL Wild Card Game 2 image

The Astros have been a model of consistency in the postseason, reaching the ALCS seven years in a row, but that remarkable run could end Wednesday. 

Houston faces a must-win situation after falling to the Tigers in Game 1 of their Wild Card series when a ninth-inning rally fell just short.  

The Astros will send Hunter Brown to the mound in Game 2, but their hopes will rest on their stacked lineup doing damage with Detroit ready to send out a series of relievers. Lefty Tyler Holton will serve as the opener and A.J. Hinch will try and piece it together from there as the Tigers try to win their first playoff series since 2013.
