Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Blasts off in Houston
Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.
Batting leadoff, Carpenter went deep in the third inning against Houston starter Ronel Blanco with a runner on for his sixth home run of the season to go along with 13 RBI in 27 games. The outfielder continues to excel against right-handed pitching in particular with a .284/.324/.507 slash line compared to .227/.217/.500 against southpaws, albeit in a smaller sample as he often sits when lefties start.

Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU
Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Exits early Monday
Alvarez was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers after hitting a single in the bottom of the seventh inning, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Rome notes that Alvarez appeared to be in discomfort after sliding into second base earlier in the game, and the club made the decision to pull the slugger following his next at-bat. It's unclear if this was a precautionary move given the 8-3 lead late in the game, but Houston should have more information to share after evaluating Alvarez further.
