Colt Keith Breaks Records with Three Home Runs and Six RBIs in Tigers' Thrashing of Astros

The Detroit Tigers made short work of their opponents on Monday night, blowing past the Houston Astros 9-3 behind a stunning performance from Colt Keith.

The 24-year-old slugger hit three home runs and drove in six runs, becoming the youngest player in Tigers history to achieve a three-homer game since 1955.

The Tigers' 11-hit attack was led by Keith, who homered in the third, seventh, and ninth innings.

Detroit's Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkelson each added to the scoring with solo homers of their own.

The Astros tried to mount a comeback in the third inning, with Isaac Paredes and Jose Altuve connecting on back-to-back homers to cut the deficit to two, but that was as close as they got.

Tyler Holton earned a win in relief, throwing 1 2/3 innings without surrendering a run.
