Kerry Carpenter News: Hits 15th home run

Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

Carpenter was one of four Detroit players to go deep, launching his 15th home run of the season in the third inning against Bailey Ober. Carpenter has recorded 13 of his long balls against righties while compiling a .780 OPS, compared to just a .600 OPS against southpaws. Due to his splits, the lefty slugger will likely sit often in same-handed matchups, but he's a strong fantasy option when a righty is on the mound.
