What happened: The Detroit Tigers have compiled the American League's best record over the last six weeks. The stretch coincides with improved production at the plate from Colt Keith.

Why it matters: Detroit struggled through May but has recently stabilized its position in the standings. The prolonged run of victories has kept the club relevant in the playoff picture.

By the numbers: The Tigers hold a 42-50 overall record and carry a four-game winning streak into their next contest. Keith previously hit three home runs in a June 16 victory against the Astros.

What to watch: Detroit hosts the Philadelphia Phillies in its next scheduled game.
