EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was hitting just .156 coming into the game but he got his second homer of the season with this game-ending blast off J.J. Hoover. It's been a weird season so far for Carpenter, as he has a solid .375 on base percentage in spite of his still-paltry .194 batting average. The fact that his walk rate has remained so high suggests he's seeing the ball well and he's a .276 hitter for his career, so Tuesday's multi-hit game could be a sign Carpenter is getting set to start producing like the guy who has an .800-plus OPS in five of his last six seasons shortly.
