CHICAGO -- Kerry Carpenter is back in the starting lineup for the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon. The Tigers (41-22) and Chicago White Sox (19-43) wrap up their four-game series at 2:10 p.m. Eastern time at Rate Field.

"Honestly, that dude can hit the ball," said Detroit Tigers reliever Dylan Smith, who made his MLB debut in Monday's win. "Kerry Bonds, baby."
