Coming off a three-homer game on Monday, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Kerry Carpenter found himself in a position for more damage, batting with two runners on and two outs in the third inning on Tuesday at Rate Field. But Chicago White Sox starter Shane Smith had the perfect plan of attack. He buried a curveball low and in, and Carpenter swung and missed for the third strike to end the threat. “Just try to keep him off-balanced a little bit,” Smith said of his approach during that matchup.
