Colt Keith hit a two-run homer and walked in three plate appearances before being lifted for a pinch-hitter Tuesday in the Tigers’ 6-2 win over the A’s.

It’d be nice if Keith got to play a full game once in a while, but to go along with his issues against lefties — which are probably exacerbated by him hardly ever getting to face them — he’s just not one of the Tigers’ better defensive infielders. Keith’s homer off J.T. Ginn was his seventh in his last 20 games after he hit zero in his first 62.
