It might not be the challenge Detroit Tigers fans would like to see this season, but prospects Colt Keith and Justyn-Henry Malloy acquitted themselves well in their appearances in the MLB All-Star Futures Game on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.
Keith and Malloy, who have been teammates for approximately two weeks with Triple-A Toledo following Keith’s promotion from Double-A Erie, suited up for the AL squad. They combined to go 0-for-1 with three walks as the AL was shut out by the NL, 5-0, in a seven-inning contest during All-Star weekend.
Malloy, who began the year at third base before moving to the outfield with the Mud Hens, got the start at designated hitter, while Keith had to wait his turn.
