Kerry Carpenter packs power in Tigers' narrow loss
by Chris Schommer | Tigers Correspondent | Sat, Aug 31st 6:54am EDT
Kerry Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the Tigers' 7-5 defeat to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
His lone hit of the game cleared the fences for a three-run blast, contributing significantly to Detroit's offensive efforts. Despite the loss, Carpenter's performance underscores his emerging power-hitting capabilities this season. With a .286 average and 14 homers through 65 games, he's proving to be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly in categories like home runs and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate remains a concern for batting average stability. Fantasy managers should continue to leverage his power but be wary of potential slumps due to strikeouts.
