Detroit Tigers Achieve Rare 63-Year HR Milestone, Win 7th Straight

The Detroit Tigers continue their dominant 2025 MLB season, boasting the best record in baseball at 40-21 after a 13-1 rout of the Chicago White Sox. Kerry Carpenter led the offensive charge with three home runs, helping the Tigers achieve a rare feat not seen in 63 years with three players each having 13 or more home runs this early in the season. The game also featured a remarkable defensive play where a foul ball popped up by White Sox's Joshua Palacios was nearly caught by catcher Dillon Dingler but deflected off his glove, only to be caught by third baseman Zach McKinstry in an unlikely and humorous out that captured fan and commentator amazement. This blend of powerful hitting, impressive pitching by Jack Flaherty, and fortunate yet skillful defensive moments underscores Detroit's strong push for the American League pennant. The White Sox, conversely, struggle with the worst record in the league at 18-42, continuing their tough season. Fans and commentators alike are captivated by the Tigers' mixture of skill, hustle, and luck, signaling a potentially deep playoff run this year.
