Keith went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays. Keith plated Detroit's first run of the game on his sixth-inning triple as the Tigers came back from a 3-0 deficit and got one step closer to the playoffs. The rookie has played a key role in his team's resurgence, as he's batting .282 across 20 games in September. Only three of his 20 hits during that stretch have gone for extra bases though, leaving him with a middling .682 OPS for the month.
