MILWAUKEE -- Matt Carpenter knew he had done something special.
David DeCastro Jersey . The St. Louis
Cardinals are confident there is more to come, too. Carpenter broke Stan Musials
team record for doubles by a left-handed batter in a season as the Cardinals
beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 Saturday night to maintain a two-game lead in the
NL Central. Carpenters fifth-inning double was his 54th one more than Musials
total in 1953. Carpenter went into the game aware he was tied with Stan the Man.
"To know that you have done something, took a record from (Musial) or broke a
record that he held, you cant put it into words," Carpenter said. "It is pretty
amazing. It is something I am extremely proud of and definitely a cool thing."
Carpenter grounded out to start of the game and flied out in the second. But
with two outs in the fifth, he hit a shot into the right-field corner to set the
mark. "Someone had mentioned to me that I tied him last night, so when I hit it
today, I knew," Carpenter said. "I got the ball and I got the base, so pretty
cool." Despite his personal success, Carpenter and the Cardinals know they have
more to do. "The only thing on my mind is the division championship," he said.
"If I can do my job to help us win, then all those individual things will take
care of themselves. The Cardinals lead Pittsburgh by two games and are ahead of
Cincinnati by three games. St. Louis won for the 12th time in 17 games and
improved to 14-4 against the Brewers this year, including 8-1 in Milwaukee. "We
dont shy away from the fact that anything you get to play after game 162 is
special," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Lance Lynn (14-10) allowed one
run, four hits and four walks in 6 1-3 innings. He had been 0-5 with a 5.44 ERA
in eight starts since winning at Cincinnati on Aug. 4. "It is the same motto
weve had all year, one game at a time," Lynn said. "That is all you can worry
about." Lynn has made a career-high 32 starts this year, including four against
the Brewers. He had a rough first inning, but after that nothing bothered him.
"He was struggling a little bit," Matheny said. "Once he found that groove, and
you could tell found that four-seamer, it was a completely different game."
Yovani Gallardo (11-10) gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings and
dropped to 1-11 with a 6.46 ERA in 17 career starts against St. Louis. Matt
Adams hit a two-run homer for the second straight night, putting the Cardinals
ahead in the first. Davis hit an RBI grounder in the bottom half, but the
Cardinals blew open the game in a five-run eighth. "He hits mistakes," Gallardo
said. "Hes one of those guys that got a lot of power. It doesnt take much for
him to hit the ball hard somewhere." NOTES: Brewers players drove through the
parking lots and tossed bobbleheads and T-shirts to surprised tailgaters after
batting practice, part of an effort to thank fans at the end of a disappointing
season. ... Cardinals GM John Mozeliak said that INF-OF Allen Craigs left foot
will be re-evaluated at the end of next week. Hes missed 16 games since
spraining his left foot Sept. 4 at Cincinnati.
