Carpenter went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Pirates.

In reaching base four times on the day, Carpenter boosted his on-base percentage to a robust .380. He's not quite displaying the same sort of power that netted him 44 doubles and 28 homers in 2015, but Carpenter's strong batting eye and solid contact skills should enable him to stick at the top of the order.
