Padres DH Matt Carpenter had a big day at the dish Sunday, leading San Diego to a 7-5 win over Arizona. He finished 3-for-3 with a home run, five RBI and two doubles.
Fantasy Impact
Carpenter went yard for the third time on the season, despite not playing every day. He is only hitting .238 but has walked nine times with only 42 official at-bats, good enough for a .377 OBP. The veteran has always shown some pop and could provide some sneaky mixed league value depending on his playing time. Carpenter is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
