MILWAUKEE • Matt Carpenter’s hitting streak was stopped at 12 games Sunday, but Jon Jay, Cody Stanley and Peter Bourjos now have streaks of two games, one and one, with Jay getting three singles after coming on for outfielder Jason Heyward, who had to exit with a strained left groin.
Stanley, in fact, started his day in Memphis, where he had been told by his longtime minor league manager, Mike Shildt, on Saturday night that he was heading to the major leagues for the first time to bolster a catching corps limited because of Yadier Molina’s right knee bruise.
