EDGE Analysis

After a brief lull that saw him log just one hit over his last six games, Carpenter resumed his blistering hot streak in this contest, ripping three hits, including his 34th long ball that he tagged in the ninth inning off the usually untouchable Kenley Jansen. Carpenter has made any concerns over his well-documented slow start seem downright comical at this point, as he boasts a phenomenal .273/.387/.582 slash line over 440 at-bats.
