Kerry Carpenter's blast sends Detroit Tigers to fourth straight win, 4-3 over Guardians

It was 39 degrees at first pitch.

The Detroit Tigers postponed Monday's series opener with the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park, oping for a straight doubleheader Tuesday. Regardless, the Tigers knew they would be playing in cold weather, but by pushing the game from Monday to Tuesday, they wouldn't have to play with snow in the forecast.

In Game 1, the Tigers won, 4-3, on Kerry Carpenter's walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. He hit a full-count fastball from right-handed reliever James Karinchak over the right-field wall for his third homer this season.
