Kerry Carpenter and Trey Sweeney Stun in Tigers’ Blowout-But That’s Not the Whole Story…

Kerry Carpenter and Trey Sweeney delivered career-best performances as the Detroit Tigers dominated the Los Angeles Angels 13-1 on Sunday, but the box score only hints at their impact

Carpenter, falling just a triple short of the cycle, went 4-for-6 with five RBIs, highlighted by a towering three-run homer in the sixth inning-his eighth of the season. Sweeney matched him with four hits and drove in six runs, including a three-run blast of his own in the seventh. Together, they combined for 11 RBIs, powering the Tigers to take three of four games in the series

Rookie Colt Keith added a two-run homer, while starter Reese Olson held the Angels scoreless over 5 2/3 innings, striking out eight. The Tigers, now leading the AL Central, look to carry this momentum into their next series against Colorado.

The Angels, meanwhile, struggled offensively, scoring just once and continuing a trend of low output-they’ve managed five runs only twice in their last 21 games
