Carlson went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a steal and an additional run scored Monday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals.
The Baltimore outfielder had a big day against one of his former clubs, pushing the Orioles' lead to 5-0 with a 397-foot, three-run homer off St. Louis starter Erick Fedde in the fourth. Carlson also swiped his first bag of the season earlier in the third inning. The 26-year-old is now slashing .176/.216/.382 with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored over 37 plate appearances.
