Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and five RBI during Thursday's Game 1 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The five RBI doubled his total to 10, and Carpenter finished the game with an underwhelming .250/.373/.417 slash line. However, with a .505 slugging percentage and 49 home runs over the past two seasons, he's probably just underachieving to start the year. Expecting a breakout stretch sooner than later from the veteran will probably pay off, especially considering Carpenter's track record.
