Carter went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Tigers.
Carter opened the game on the bench, which is usually the case when the Rangers face a left-hander, but he made an impact late with a pinch hit single in the seventh inning and then a homer an inning later. Since returning from the injured list, Carter is 4-for-11 with the one long ball and three additional runs scored over four contests.
