Kerry Carpenter slugs clutch grand slam, but Detroit Tigers lose, 6-4, to Chicago Cubs

The Detroit Tigers flipped the script in the sixth inning.

A leadoff single from Andy Ibáñez, coming off the first multi-home run game of his career, provided the first hit for the Tigers against Chicago Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Jake Rogers and Akil Baddoo tossed in singles, as well, to load the bases for the triumvirate in the batting order.

The Tigers put together a memorable comeback, thanks to one powerful swing, but couldn't beat the Cubs in Wednesday's series finale at Comerica Park. The Tigers lost, 6-4, and dropped two of three games to begin a 10-game homestand, which continues Friday against the Houston Astros.
