CHICAGO -- On the heels of one of the best individual performances in franchise history, Matt Carpenter didn't let up, homering in both games of the Cardinals' doubleheader on Saturday vs. the Cubs to make it six games in a row with a home run.
Carpenter matches Mark McGwire, who homered in a franchise-record six consecutive games, though it was stretched across two seasons.
McGwire homered in the final two games of '97 and then opened his historic 70-homer season in '98 with blasts in his first four games.
