5/14/24 Cardinals needed a boost from their bases-loaded blahs. They got it from one of the best ever.. Just about the only spot Matt Carpenter prefers to hit in more than with the bases loaded is when he has a 3-2 count and the bases loaded. It has been the worst possible outcome for the Cardinals. The Cardinals upended the Los Angeles Angels' lead, the game, and their offensive ineptitude all in one inning Monday night at Angel Stadium, and it hinged on producing in a spot they have struggled to do so all season. Blah with the bases loaded for most of the past month, the Cardinals produced nine runs in those opportunities on their way to a season high for runs and a 10-5 victory.

Matt Carpenter is back with the St. Louis Cardinals, and he's hoping to play a role in helping them turn things around after a horrific 2023 campaign.
