Carpenter was ON! Gone was the guy that showed up last week in St Louis who gave up 7 Earned Runs. Instead the REAL Chris Carpenter showed up and just stymied the Padre hitters. It was an impressively pitched game.
The bats came alive as well hitting Padre "ace" Peavy hard in the sixth inning. Pujols crushed another ball in left center, into the back of the Padres bullpen and that really is where the game was won. A couple of pitches previously he fouled back a ball that Piazza couldn't quite get to and so with the extra life, Pujols made Peavy pay. Edmonds showed no sign of a concussion either with his hitting although in the field, he did not look like the Edmonds we're used to seeing. But he was still good.
Let's see what Thurs game brings.
