WATCH: Tigers' Kerry Carpenter grants fan's wish, signs bat to 'make sister jealous'

The Detroit Tigers recorded a 5-4 win against the Minnesota Twins on Friday, with Kerry Carpenter starring with a run and two RBIs off four hits. An amusing moment was captured on video during the game, with MLBCut4 sharing the clip on Instagram.

A fan in the crowd made the most of a quiet moment and could be heard shouting to the dugout:

"Kerry Carpenter! Can you sign my bat? I need to make my sister jealous!"

Laughing, Carpenter said:

"I'll sign it then."

Amusing moment aside, it was an important win for the Tigers, who had lost three of the four-game series against defending World Series champions, the Texas Rangers.

Detroit moved to 11-9, and while they stayed third in the AL Central, they extended the gap over the fourth-placed Twins (6-12) and stayed in range of the 14-6 Cleveland Guardians in first.

Carpenter spoke to reporters after the game and discussed the cohesion in the team:

“I think we all are accepting our roles well. That’s kind of the way it should be. If we tag-team a game, that’s good. We love going 3-for-4 out of the four-hole today, so we’ll take it.”

With two games remaining in the series against Minnesota, the Tigers will look to sweep the Twins and reduce the gap between themselves and Cleveland.
