Tigers, Pirates lineups: 2 players making MLB debuts in Game 2 of doubleheader

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Ryan Carpenter and left fielder Victor Reyes will be making their Major League debuts in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Carpenter was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to occupy the 26th roster spot allowed by MLB for doubleheaders.

Reyes was a Rule 5 Draft pick who made the club out of spring training.

Two other bench players are starting Game 2.

Niko Goodrum will also be making his first start as a Tiger and only the third of his career. He went 1-for-17 in his Major League debut with the Minnesota Twins last September.
