NORTH PORT, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers lost to the Atlanta Braves, 3-0, on Tuesday at CoolToday Park.
The Tigers are 6-5-1 in Grapefruit League play.
What happened
Outfielder Kerry Carpenter, serving as the designated hitter, returned from a left hamstring strain for his Grapefruit League debut, following an estimated 30-40 plate appearances over the past week in live batting practice on the backfields.
"I've been wanting to get back out there," Carpenter said. "No reason to rush getting back in the game, but the at-bats are the thing that get me the most ready, so I hit live at-bats every day.
