On the other side, Colt Keith, the Tigers' second baseman, has shown flashes of brilliance that could pose a challenge for the Phillies. Despite a disappointing .000 average in one game, Keith turned around to hit an impressive .800 with a home run and three RBIs in another game. His resilience and ability to bounce back demonstrate why he is considered a key player for the Tigers.


Alec Bohm, playing third base for the Phillies, also deserves mention for his stunning .800 average in one game, including a home run that contributed significantly to his team's efforts. His performance exemplifies the depth of talent within the Phillies roster.
