Four home runs over Green Monster power Detroit Tigers in 6-2 win over Boston Red Sox

The Detroit Tigers cleared the Green Monster at Fenway Park.

Four times.

The quartet of home runs over the 37-foot, 2-inch wall — Kerry Carpenter in the second and eighth innings, Eric Haase in the fifth inning and Spencer Torkelson in the sixth inning — powered the Tigers to a 6-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday in the second of three games in the series.
