Keith's Trio: Tigers Star Hits 3 Homers in Houston

Colt Keith achieved a career milestone on Monday night, launching three home runs against the Houston Astros. The Detroit Tigers secured a decisive 9-3 victory, with Keith playing a pivotal role.

Keith's power display included a two-run shot in the third inning, another two-run drive in the seventh, and an opposite-field solo homer in the ninth. He finished the game with six RBIs, attributing his success to being "up there and on-time for the fastballs."

This remarkable performance marked Keith's first three-homer game in the major leagues. The 24-year-old had only one home run prior to this game this season, contrasting with his 13 home runs in each of his previous two major league seasons. The Tigers, now with a 30-42 record, are six games out of an American League wild-card spot following this win.

Keith expressed his enjoyment of the game, stating, "Definitely one of the best games I've had in my life." He noted his ability to "see the ball well" in Houston. Only Max Muncy and Andy Pages of the Los Angeles Dodgers have hit three home runs in a game this season.
