Matt Carpenter's first three at-bats were miserable, forgettable and completely unproductive. Carpenter hit a two-run homer off reliever Marc Rzepczynski in the eighth inning after Cleveland replaced starter Trevor Bauer, rallying the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 win over the Indians on Thursday. Bauer struck out Carpenter three times and blanked St. Louis on four hits over 7 1-3 innings before giving up a one-out walk to Peter Bourjos. Indians manager Terry Francona brought in the left-handed Rzepczynski (1-1) to face Carpenter, a lefty, who drove a 2-1 pitch over the wall in right-center - just above outfielder Michael Bourn's glove - to help the Cardinals win the series after being overpowered by Corey Kluber on Wednesday night.
