Carpenter went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a solo homer in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

This has been quite the bizarre season for the veteran third baseman -- he's now doubled his previous career-high home run total, but remains on track to post the worst full-season batting average and OBP of his career. There's been a clear change in approach for Carpenter, whose strikeout rate has surged as he's put more emphasis on trying to hit balls out of the yard. As he approaches his 30th birthday, he's almost totally remade his profile as a hitter.
