Kerry Carpenter’s four hits propel the Detroit Tigers to a 7-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies as they continue their strong performanceK

erry Carpenter tied his career best with four hits, and the Detroit Tigers stayed in the AL wild-card hunt with a 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.

We’ve got a lot of guys who can swing it, and we’re swinging it well right now,” Carpenter said. “When we are at our best, we can do it all.”

In the seventh inning, Carpenter needed a home run to hit for the cycle—the first for a Tigers player since Carlos Guillen in 2006—but he ended up with an infield single instead.

“I was aware,” Carpenter said. “I was hoping to get a pitch I could do some damage on, but it didn’t happen.”

Tigers starter Casey Mize gave up four runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings, striking out seven without walking any batters.

Tyler Holton (6-1) got the win with two scoreless innings of relief, and Jason Foley picked up his 22nd save with a scoreless ninth inning.

I like bringing Tyler Holton into the game every time,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said.
