Dylan Carlson

On Tuesday, Carlson was 1-for-3 with a strikeout.

Carlson was 1-for-4 on Thursday. In the seventh inning of Thursday’s game, Carlson knocked his second home run of the season on a fly to left field. Just before Carlson came to bat, Tyler O’Neill grounded into a double play with Corey Dickerson on base after being hit by a pitch..

Carlson’s home run traveled 403-feet at 102.6 mph.

Carlson came up big for the Cardinals on Thursday. The home run was huge on and he stepped up nicely filling in for Harrison Bader. Carlson has had a slow start to the season too but is definitely showing signs of breaking out. It will be exciting to watch.
