Mike Carp had three hits and knocked in three of the Mariners' four runs Friday against the Red Sox. Carp may not be a true cleanup hitter, but he's been a huge improvement over what the Mariners had gotten from their No. 4 hitters since moving there. He's batting .388 with two homers and 13 RBI in 12 games from the spot.
