Kerry Carpenter crushes two homers in Tigers' rout
by Chris Schommer | Tigers Correspondent | Sun, May 12th 7:00am EDT
Kerry Carpenter went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in the Tigers' 8-2 victory over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Delivering a pair of long balls in this game, Carpenter significantly bolstered his home run tally for the season, bringing his total to five. This performance could be a signal of an emerging power trend, or simply a good day at the plate, but either way, it's a positive sign for fantasy managers. Given his current .275 batting average and .362 wOBA, Carpenter remains a solid option in fantasy lineups, particularly in formats that reward power hitting. His limited walk rate and high strikeout rate are concerns, but his slugging ability may compensate for those shortcomings in leagues that prioritize extra-base hits and RBI.
