Chris Carpenter allowed five runs on seven hits in just five innings of work on Monday, falling to 6-8 in St. Louis' 6-2 loss to the Brewers.
Carpenter allowed just one hit through his first four innings of work, but came completely unraveled in the fifth. He was hurt by a number of defensive miscues behind him, but it was still an awful outing for someone who had gone at least seven innings in eight of his past 10 starts. Carpenter's first chance to bounce-back should come on Saturday in Florida.
