Cardinals' Matt Carpenter: On base four times Tuesday

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a run-scoring double, three walks and a run in Tuesday's 8-1 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

The surging leadoff man was a thorn in the side of the Phillies throughout the game, drawing multiple walks for the third straight contest and upping his OPS for June to an impressive 1.068. Carpenter's .313 average in June is over 100 points better than the pedestrian .204 figure he mustered in May, and the 31-year-old is also now just one RBI short of equaling his total for all of last month as well.
