Cardinals' Matt Carpenter: Hits third homer

Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in a 6-3 victory against the Brewers on Wednesday.

The veteran infielder has five hits, including four extra-base hits, in the last five games, and yet he's just barely sitting above the Mendoza Line with a .203 average. This shouldn't be alarming, as Carpenter hit .155 last April and still finished the season with a .257 average and a career-high 36 homers. It's frustrating right now, but Carpenter will more than likely reward owners with a hot streak at some point this summer.
