The goal for every lead-off hitter is to reach base, setting the table for those behind him in the order, and then come around to score when those bats drive him in. Though he’s been batting second of late, Matt Carpenter has met those standards–as evidenced by his 2-run homer on Sunday afternoon in the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 win over Kansas City.
