Can’t believe Cards pulled Carp after his 3rd homer and 16th base of the game. Could’ve had couple more at bats.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Carp tied a big league record. Shame, it could've been more if they keep him in.

Carp hit another HR. 5th game in a row with a HR

Carp has homered in 5 straight games ( 7 hr's. total in those 5 games). He is setting or tying several all time records.
