Carroll batted second and went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll had batted in the lower third of the order against lefties for the last couple of months, but he was moved up Sunday against Los Angeles southpaw Justin Wrobleski. Carroll, who extended a hit streak to 11 games, had his best month of the season in August, which suggests the promotion against lefties was more than a one-day deployment. He finished August with 11 home runs, 24 RBI, 30 runs and a 1.042 OPS over 28 contests.
