Detroit’s Colt Keith hits three home runs and drives in six runs as the Tigers defeat the Houston Astros 9-3 in the season opener. Multiple reports say the Tigers produce five additional homers in the win and compile 11 hits total. Keith, who bats left-handed, becomes the second youngest Detroit player to record a three-homer game, and one outlet notes he is the youngest Tigers player with a three-homer game since 1955. The three home runs come across multiple innings: a two-out, two-run drive to right-center in the third, a two-run homer down the right-field line in the seventh, and an opposite-field solo shot in the ninth over the left-field wall at Daikin Park. Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkelson also add home runs for Detroit in the same game. One report adds that the effort is the 26th three-homer game in Tigers franchise history. The overall coverage presents the result as a combined power display led by Keith, who entered the game with limited home run production that season.
