And what were the St. Louis Cardinals players saying about their sudden turn of fortune and good play?
“It must be the salsa.”
Cardinals Third Baseman Matt Carpenter was the source of last year’s salsa sensation telling Fox Sports in August that he “easily puts down one mason jar of salsa a day.” Carpenter also deserves a lot of credit for the team’s 40-28 record after the All-Star break that included a 22-6 run in August.
Carpenter hit 20 homers and tallied 38 RBI’s in the months of July and August during the 2018 season.
