On a team loaded with top-tier hitters, Matt Carpenter took center stage during Sunday's tilt with NL West Division rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Carpenter, at the spry age of 37, turned back the clock going 3-for-3 with two doubles and a home run, plating five runs in the 7-5 victory. "I've felt like I was trending in the right direction," Carpenter said. "Today, this series, I was able to see some of it pay off."
