Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter put on a show Monday night, blasting three home runs in a dominant 13–1 win over the Chicago White Sox. The performance marked the first three-homer game of Carpenter’s career and the first for a Tigers player in nearly a decade.
Carpenter got things started early with a two-run shot in the first inning. He followed that up with another homer in the fourth and capped off his night with a solo blast in the sixth. In total, he drove in five runs and powered a relentless Detroit offense that collected 16 hits.
It wasn’t just Carpenter swinging the bat. Dillon Dingler and Wenceel Pérez also homered, while Parker Meadows returned to the lineup with a double, a triple, and three runs scored. Meadows was making his season debut after recovering from an arm injury.
On the mound, Jack Flaherty delivered a strong outing for Detroit, allowing just one run across six innings of work. His effort helped keep the White Sox at bay as the Tigers took control early and never looked back.
With the win, Detroit moved to 4–0 against Chicago this season and became the first team in Major League Baseball to hit the 40-win mark in 2025. Meanwhile, the White Sox continued their downward slide, having now lost seven of their last eight games.
Carpenter’s explosive night solidified his role as a crucial piece of Detroit’s success this season and gave fans a performance to remember.
