MILWAUKEE • Maybe Matt Carpenter should have stayed at leadoff.
The Cardinals' No.1 hitter has hit more like their No. 1 hitter since returning to the leadoff spot in the order on July 30. He has hit seven of his 17 home runs since that move, and his latest has flipped the game on the Milwaukee Brewers today at Miller Park.
A couple groundball singles put the seventh inning in motion for the Cardinals.
Brandon Moss got a base hit that didn't leave the infield, and Stephen Piscotty got a base hit on a ball that barely did.
