Kerry Carpenter goes deep twice, Tigers ride long ball past Red Sox

Boston — The Tigers didn’t much threaten Fenway Park’s fabled Green Monster Friday night.

But they attacked it with a fury Saturday.

Kerry Carpenter, Eric Haase, Spencer Torkelson and Carpenter again lofted homers over the short-and-tall left field wall, propelling the Tigers to a 6-2 win over the Red Sox.

The Tigers have homered now in a season-best eight straight games. Carpenter, the first Tiger to homer twice in the same game at Fenway since Jhonny Peralta in 2010, has three homers in two games.

BOX SCORE: Tigers 6, Red Sox 2

The lefty-swinging Carpenter got it started leading off the second inning.
