Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler believes the summer transfer window will be vital for the club. The Reds completed the signing of goalkeeper Loris Karius from German club Mainz on Tuesday, who joins Schalke defender Joel Matip as a new arrival at Anfield.Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has already stated he intends to rebuild the team from the back, and is expected to be busy before the start of the new season. Liverpool missed the chance of Champions League football when they lost to Sevilla in the Europa League final Fowler, who scored 129 league goals for Liverpool, believes the teams failure to clinch a Champions League place will have an impact on what players arrive at Anfield.It a massive thing for every club obviously to buy a few players, and Liverpool will be trying to strengthen their squad, Fowler said. Liverpool completed the signing of Loris Karius on Tuesday Its going to be tough. I think getting into the Champions League would have been a little bit better, but it is what it is, we go with what weve got.Hopefully hell sign good players that will help the squad and we can go from strength to strength.Despite the disappointment of missing out on European football next season, Fowler is hopeful a quieter schedule will help Liverpool progress domestically. Joel Matip was Klopps first signing as Liverpool manager Liverpool were in a similar situation in 2013 when Klopps predecessor Brendan Rodgers led his team to second in the Premier League table, the clubs highest finish since 2009.I think under Brendan we finished second, a real good year actually, and obviously that was without the cups, so fingers crossed its more of the same and hopefully that is the case, Fowler added.

DETROIT -- Even when hes behind in the count, Victor Martinez is a tough hitter to face these days. "You cant set Victor Martinez up -- hes just too good at getting the barrel to the ball," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. "I dont think it matters what pitch you throw, hes generally going to find a way to do it." Martinez hit a solo homer in sixth inning and Miguel Cabrera also went deep for the Tigers, who won their eighth straight game Wednesday night, 3-2 over the Houston Astros. Martinezs homer came on an 0-2 pitch, when Astros starter Brad Peacock tried to throw a high fastball past the designated hitter. "I have no idea how Victor Martinez even hit that pitch," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "That was up in his eyes and, he not only got a bat on it, he knocked it out of the park." Martinez extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and Rick Porcello (5-1) allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings for the surging Tigers, who remained five games ahead of the second-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. Porcello struck out five and walked two. Even Detroits maligned bullpen looked impressive Wednesday. Joba Chamberlain got four outs in relief, striking out the side in the eighth. Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine chances. He struck out two, getting Matt Dominguez swinging with a man on third to preserve the win. Houston has lost five straight and seven of eight. Peacock (0-3) allowed three runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out four and walked four. After a slow start, Cabrera is again swinging the bat with authority for the Tigers. After homering in a four-hit, four-RBI performance Tuesday night, he stepped to the plate with a man on Wednesday and lifted a drive to deep right. Houstons George Springer tried valiantly to make the catch at the wall, but the ball nicked off his glove and went over, and the outfielder fell to the ground. It was Cabreras fourth homer of the year. Porcello allowed a run in the third when Marwin&nbssp;Gonzalez doubled and eventually scored on Dexter Fowlers groundout, but the Detroit infield turned double plays in the fifth and sixth to help the 25-year-old right-hander.dddddddddddd In the fifth, Gonzalez was on first and took off toward second when Jose Altuve hit a grounder up the middle. Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler, in the area because of the steal attempt, simply picked up the ball, stepped on the bag and threw to first for the double play. Martinez homered to right to make it 3-1. It was his sixth home run of the season, and hes now hitting .318 with only five strikeouts all year. With two strikes on him, Martinez was ready for a fastball. "I was looking high fastball," Martinez said. "As soon as I saw it, I was making sure that I get on top." Houston answered with a run in the seventh, chasing Porcello. Marc Krauss hit a two-out double, Dominguez followed with a single, and Gonzalez singled to drive in Krauss. Chamberlain came on and retired Altuve with men on first and second to end that threat. The big reliever then struck out three in the eighth. "Brad was the first one on the stairs and said, You got the eighth," Chamberlain said. "I figured after we got out of the (seventh) that was going to be the case. Just prepare, look up and see whos going to be coming up for their lineup, and kind of a mental plan of what you want to do. It worked out." Nathan entered in the ninth and allowed a two-out walk to Krauss. Pinch-runner Jonathan Villar stole second and third, but Dominguez went down swinging to end it.
