Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter has been off to a hot start this season.
However, in Monday night's 10-9 win over the Cubs, Carpenter's bat was missing in action. Carpenter finished the game 0 for 5 with two strikeouts. This is only the fourth time this season in 24 games that Carpenter has gone without a hit.
This is also the first time in 2015 that Carpenter recorded less than two hits in five at-bats in a single game.
He now holds a slash line of .347/.412/.624.
