Kerry Carpenter homers and drives in 3 to lead Tigers over Angels 9-5
Carpenter doubled and scored in the first, hit a sacrifice fly in the second and added a three-run homer in the fourth.
Casey Mize (11-4) got the win, allowing two runs on three hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out five.
Jack Kochanowicz (3-10) took the loss. He gave up seven runs on 10 hits in three-plus innings.
The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the first, stringing together four straight two-out hits that included RBI singles by Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry.
Carpenter's sacrifice fly made it 3-0 in the second, and the Tigers added four more in the fourth.
Javier Baez reached on an error, took third on a base hit by Cole Keith and scored on Gleyber Torres' single. Carpenter followed with his 21st homer, giving Detroit a 7-0 lead.
Nolan Schanuel hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Logan O'Hoppe made it 7-3 with an RBI single in the sixth.
Greene hit a two-run homer in the sixth while Luis Rengifo hit a two-run shot in the eighth.
Angels CF Bryce Teodosio, who missed Saturday's game after hitting his head on the fence on Friday, ran into LF Taylor Ward and RF Jo Adell on eighth-inning fly balls. Luckily, no one was injured on either play.
Carpenter has a .600 slugging percentage against right-handed pitchers since the start of 2024, the third highest in the majors. Shohei Ohtani (.688) and Aaron Judge (.682) are the leaders among players with at least 500 plate appearances against righties.
The Angels return for a three-game series with their crosstown rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers. RHP Jose Soriano is scheduled to start Monday's opener.
Detroit travels to Chicago for three games against the White Sox. RHP Chris Paddack (4-10, 4.91) will pitch on Monday evening. After playing 13 of their last 16 games at home, the Tigers play 13 of the next 19 on the road.

Swimming: The time of her life; Sharron Davies thrilled by 12-year-old's medal feat
Synopsis The pre-teen prodigy made headlines when she took bronze with her country's 4x200m freestyle relay team in Singapore last month. Davies swam for Britain at 11 and made her Olympic debut in Montreal in 1976. At 14, she twice won bronze at the European championships and by 15 was a double Commonwealth Games champion. AP Yu Zidi of China prepares to compete in the women's 200-meter butterfly final at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, July 31, 2025. LONDON: Sharron Davies will never forget the thrill of swimming at the Olympics as a 13-year-old and is sure Chinese sensation Yu Zidi will have felt similar excitement as the youngest world championships medallist at pre-teen prodigy made headlines when she took bronze with her country's 4x200m freestyle relay team in Singapore last month. Davies swam for Britain at 11 and made her Olympic debut in Montreal in 1976. At 14, she twice won bronze at the European championships and by 15 was a double Commonwealth Games some have raised questions about safeguarding, mental health, stress and the ethics of someone competing at elite level while still so young, Davies saw no reason to be concerned."I don't have any particular qualms," she told Reuters in a telephone interview. "It didn't traumatise me. In fact, when you're young, people presume that this is going to make you extremely nervous but in fact the opposite happens."You know that every time you get into the water you're going to swim faster, because you're just growing and getting better at 12 and you have the next 10 years in front of you."Davies compared that to the stress of being an older athlete in their last major meet and knowing that one final race, maybe only seconds in the pool, could be experience, she suggested, will have been very different."That 12-year-old thought this was just 'everything is a bonus, I'm just having the best time ever...' the pressure is not there," she said. "At 12, you just don't even think about that. You just think about how amazing it is to be part of this."Davies, who won 400m Individual Medley silver at the 1980 Moscow Olympics at a time when doped East German swimmers dominated the pool, said she was "on cloud nine" at making the Olympic squad."I just thought everything was amazing. I was just so lucky to be there and to experience it all and just to be part of it," she explained."There was nothing for me to lose and everything to gain. And it would have been the same for her (Yu)."Davies said age limits, with 14 the usual entry point for less elite performers, were meaningless when such an obvious talent came along."If someone is good enough to be there, how do you say 'Well, you can't come?'," she asked. "I think if someone is good enough, it'd be very unfair to take her moment away."God forbid something terrible happened to her and she tripped and broke her leg or something next year and it ruined her career. And she never had that opportunity when she was good enough."So I think it's a tough one to say she shouldn't have been there. It didn't mark me. It certainly didn't mark (diver) Tom Daley. From personal experience, the pressure comes later in life not early."Daley, the 2020 Olympic 10m synchro gold medallist, was 14 when he competed for Britain in the 2008 Olympics -- younger than Yu will be if she competes at the 2028 Los Angeles broke both her arms at 11 falling out of a tree and then resumed training in the pool with plaster casts wrapped in plastic bags. Much has changed in a more professional era."I think that we have a lot more medical attention now than we used to have," she said. "They understand rest breaks as well, whereas we just didn't get those. We were lucky if we got three weeks off a year."Nowadays they will say to some of the more senior athletes, 'go and take a year off, take six months off, go just be normal for a little while and come back hungry again'. None of those things happened back in my day, sadly."So I think we've learned a lot of lessons."
