CLEVELAND — For the second time in 2022, the Detroit Tigers hammered back-to-back home runs, and after losing the past eight games (and 27 of 34 games since July 9), the Tigers finished in the win column.
Homers from veteran Jonathan Schoop and rookie Kerry Carpenter in the sixth inning carried the Tigers to a 7-5 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader and the second of four games in the series at Progressive Field.
The Tigers (44-74) posted double-digit hits for the third time in August, with the offense responsible for 15 hits, one walk and nine strikeouts.
