Jack Flaherty (4-6) pitched six innings of
one-run ball in his second straight win. The right-hander
allowed four hits, struck out four and walked one.
The Tigers improved to 22-9 in their last 31 games. It was their
11th consecutive win at the White Sox dating to Sept. 1, 2023,
matching a franchise record for the longest such streak in an
opponent's ballpark.
Chicago finished with five hits in its seventh loss in eight
games. Chase Meidroth singled and scored on Vinny Capra's
groundout in the sixth, accounting for the team's only run.
Carpenter hit a two-run drive in Detroit's three-run first
against Jonathan Cannon (2-7). He connected for another two-run
shot in the fourth and a solo drive in the sixth for his 13th
homer on the season.
He batted again with two runners on in the eighth. Amid chants
of “Kerry! Kerry!” by the Tigers fans in a crowd of 11,852, he
flied out to center.
Detroit also had a big night in the field.
Meadows robbed Andrew Benintendi of a run-scoring hit with a
diving catch in center for the last out of the first. Riley
Greene hustled over for a terrific sliding grab on Meidroth's
drive near the line in left in the third.
But catcher Dingler and third baseman Zach McKinstry combined
for what might have been the team's best defensive play in the
fifth. Dingler slid as he went after Joshua Palacios' foul popup
and the ball went off his glove to McKinstry for the out.
Key moment
Pérez's two-run homer in the second lifted the Tigers to a 5-0
lead.
Key stat
Carpenter became the first player to hit three homers for
Detroit since Victor Martinez on June 16, 2016, at Kansas City.
Up next
Detroit is going with a bullpen day on Tuesday. Rookie
right-hander Shane Smith (1-3, 2.68 ERA) starts for Chicago.
