When the Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros played Thursday, they started a pair of pitchers that both began their careers at Arkansas.
Dallas Keuchel and the Astros beat Drew Smyly and the Tigers 6-2 in the battle of former Razorbacks, but it wasn't the first time two former Arkansas pitchers started against each other in the MLB.
Believe it or not, it's happened three times.
