Colt Keith blasted three home runs and drove in six to lead the Detroit Tigers to a dominant 9-3 victory over the Houston Astros in their game today at Daikin Park. The Tigers utilized a strategic bullpen game after starter Troy Melton was scratched with back tightness right before the first pitch.
Here is a quick look at how the action unfolded in Houston:
- The Power Surge: Colt Keith was the undisputed star of the night, launching a pair of two-run homers and a solo shot. Going into the week with only one home run on the season, he exploded at the plate.
- The Bullpen Pivot: After Melton was unable to take the mound due to back issues, six Tigers relievers combined to quiet a potent Astros lineup. Kyle Finnegan picked up the win (2-0), while Tyler Holton continued his dominant streak with another scoreless appearance.
- Houston’s Missed Opportunities: The Astros managed to get within two runs after back-to-back homers from Isaac Paredes and Jose Altuve in the third, but the Detroit pitching staff slammed the door shut the rest of the way.
