Prince Fielder and Richie Sexson each had two seasons with the Brewers with 40-plus homers, while Gorman Thomas, Ben Oglivie and Ryan Braun had one apiece. The Brewers' most recent 40-homer season belonged to Braun in 2012, but Carter has now added his name to the list.
"It's definitely nice. It's a place I've never been," said Carter, whose previous career-high for home runs was 37, for the Astros in 2014. "I couldn't make it [to 40]. I ended up hitting [four] in September that year.
"Going into this month, I think I had 30, and it didn't really seem like it was a thing that was going to happen because I needed 10 more this month.
