MILWAUKEE — Center fielder Dylan Carlson doubled and scored twice from the left side of the plate in Tuesday’s clincher, further illustrating how limited his swing may have been by a hand injury and hinting at one way the Cardinals intend to use their six remaining games.
“He’s hitting second for a reason,” manager Olive Marmol said.
That reason is to get Carlson as many at-bats against right-handed pitching in the near future to determine if he’s regain his swing from that side and can be the Cardinals’ everyday center fielder when the postseason starts next week.
