"How have you been able to establish the consistency at the plate that we've seen from you in this recent stretch?" Bruce asked Keith. "Just making a routine and sticking to it every day. Coming in with a level heartbeat and not searching, that's kinda the key just having a good routine and not searching," Keith added.

Keith Homers, Drives in 3 Runs as Tigers Win Fifth Straight Over Rays
Colt Keith homered and drove in three runs as the Detroit Tigers won their fifth straight game, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4–2 on Tuesday night. Detroit has outscored its opponents 19–6 in the winning streak, which started with a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend. Tigers starter Jack Flaherty allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings, striking out eight. Tommy Kahnle (1–1) picked up the win after replacing Flaherty, and Will Vest pitched the ninth for his 15th save. Juan Soto singled in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning, and New York hit three home runs in a comeback victory over Baltimore. New York trailed 6–2 before rallying past the Orioles to improve to 5–34 when trailing after seven innings. Ronny Mauricio, Francisco Lindor, and Pete Alonso homered for the Mets, who are in hot pursuit of first-place Philadelphia in the NL East. Soto hit the first pitch from Yennier Cano (1–5) to score Lindor in the 10th, and Huascar Brazobán worked the bottom half for his second save. Edwin Diaz (4-0) pitched the ninth inning for New York. Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer, Austin Wells went deep for the third consecutive game, and New York pounded Seattle in the opener of a three-game series between American League playoff contenders. Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh traded late home runs after the outcome was all but decided, with Raleigh's 36th of the season keeping the Seattle catcher two ahead of Judge for the major league lead. Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt each had three hits for the Yankees, who won their second straight following a six-game slide. Rookie right-hander Will Warren (6–4) pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings, rebounding from an ugly start in Toronto last week. Oswald Peraza's run-scoring infield single off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (2–3) with two outs in the fifth ended Seattle's team-record streak of 33 scoreless innings. Brayan Bello struck out a season-high ten in the first nine-inning complete game of his career, Trevor Story hit a three-run homer, and Boston beat Colorado for their fifth straight win. Bello (5–3), who had seven strikeouts after one trip through the Colorado lineup, gave up five hits and one walk. He threw a rain-shortened six-inning complete game on Sept. 25, 2022, a 2–0 loss to the Yankees. Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run double during a four-run rally in the sixth, followed by a six-run outbreak in the seventh when Story homered and Jarren Duran added a solo shot. Boston had ten or more hits for the sixth straight game. Hunter Goodman ended the shutout bid with a two-run homer in the ninth inning, but Bello struck out Ryan McMahon for the final out. Miami extended their franchise-record road winning streak to eleven with a victory over Cincinnati. It's the longest road winning streak in the major leagues since the Phillies won thirteen straight away from home in 2023. Eury Pérez (2–2) made his sixth start for the Marlins since returning this season from Tommy John surgery and allowed only two hits, including Matt McLain's solo homer–his 10th–in the first inning. Pérez struck out eight and didn't walk a batter. After Nick Martinez (6–9) retired the first six batters he faced, the Marlins collected six consecutive hits off him in the third, including a two-run double by Xavier Edwards, to take a 7–1 lead. Nick Loftin hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning, then won it in the ninth with a one-out RBI single as Kansas City beat Pittsburgh. Rookie Jac Caglianone homered for the Royals, a 421-foot drive leading off the second inning that was his first extra-base hit in 14 games at Kauffman Stadium. He had been 5 for 46 at home before Tuesday. Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz tied it in the fourth with a 458-foot shot over the fountains in right field on the day he was announced as a participant in next week's Home Run Derby. Nick Gonzales put the Pirates ahead with a homer in the top of the seventh before Loftin's drive made it 3–2. Bryan Reynolds tied it with an RBI grounder in the eighth. Maikel Garcia singled leading off the ninth against Dennis Santana (2–2), and Salvador Perez followed with a base hit. With one out, Isaac Mattson came in and gave up Loftin's game-ending hit on a 1–0 fastball. Simeon Woods Richardson outpitched Shota Imanaga with five scoreless innings, and Minnesota beat Chicago. Ryan Jeffers had three RBIs and the first of three homers for the Twins in a six-run eighth off Porter Hodge, who was also taken deep by Willi Castro and Harrison Bader and got just one out. Royce Lewis drove in two runs, and All-Star Byron Buxton and Jeffers greeted Imanaga (5–3) with back-to-back doubles to start a two-run first inning. The left-hander, who was an All-Star as an MLB rookie last year, finished six innings for the first time since April 4 after missing nearly two months with a strained hamstring. Jacob Misiorowski bounced back after allowing a leadoff homer to Shohei Ohtani by striking out twelve in six innings as Milwaukee defeated slumping Los Angeles. The NL West-leading Dodgers have lost five straight. Ohtani opened the game by connecting on an 0–2 curveball from Misiorowski and delivering a 431-foot shot over the center-field wall. Misiorowski (4–1) responded by striking out Los Angeles' next five batters and ended up yielding only four hits and one walk to outduel three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw. The twelve strikeouts represented a career high for the 6-foot-7 rookie right-hander, who was making his fifth start.
