Carter went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, three RBI and his 32nd home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
He also chipped in a double. Saturday and Sunday's bombs mark the sixth time this season Carter has homered in back-to-back games and as his power tends to come in bunches, he might be in line for more as the Brewers head home for a three-game set against the Cubs beginning Monday.

Carter went 4-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs in a 7-4 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He went deep in the sixth to put Milwaukee on the board and give the Brewers the lead. Then, his RBI single in the ninth provided an insurance run. Carter is hitting .300 with three homers and nine RBI versus the Pirates this season. He leads the league in strikeouts but also has 31 home runs.

Carter is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Milwaukee's slugger hasn't recorded a hit in three consecutive games, so he'll get the night off as Hernan Perez heads to first. Carter will likely return to the lineup Saturday for Milwaukee's game against Pittsburgh.

Carter hit his 30th home run and walked twice in a 1-for-2 game Monday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Carter has hammered three home runs in the past four games. Monday's blast gave him his second 30 home run season of his career, his first since he hit 37 with the Astros in 2014. Carter continues to rake at Miller Park -- 21 of his 30 home runs have come at his home park, one of the best hitter's yards in the league.

Carter finished 2-for-4, including his 28th home run of the season, in Friday's 7-6 loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
The fifth inning shot to deep center field -- the first of three Brewers' home runs -- was the longest recorded home run at Safeco Field (465 feet). The powerful first baseman leads the league in strikeouts and holds a pedestrian .221/.315/.483 line.

Carter carried the Milwaukee offense with one big swing Wednesday, going 1-for-4 with a three-run homer against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
He'd been in the midst of a small power drought, having gone seven straight games without a homer before Wednesday. That sort of thing hasn't been uncommon for Carter, whose 26 homers have largely come in bunches this season, often with slumps in between. With that in mind, look for him to hit a few more in the coming days.

Carter is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Milwaukee's slugger will have the day off, as Andy Wilkins is set to start at first base for Sunday's game. Carter, who's hit two home runs over the last seven days, will likely return to the lineup Monday when the Brewers begin their series against the Braves.

Carter went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's loss at Petco Park, giving him 25 on the season.
EDGE Analysis
The all-or-nothing first baseman has been checking the "all" category a lot lately, going yard three times in the last four games while failing to collect any other hits. This type of production is nothing new for Carter, who has smacked 115 homers in the last four seasons without breaking a .227 average in any of those individual campaigns. It's surprising that he didn't strike out in this one considering he does so 33.1 percent of the time.

Carter went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and two walks Sunday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Carter launched his 24th bomb of 2016 to close out the scoring for the Brewers in the fifth inning of a home victory. He just completed his worst hitting month of the year, as he only collected 14 hits in 81 at-bats, and he's now slashing .217/.305/.481 on the season.

Carter went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 3-1 victory over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Carter's first-inning blast was all the Brewers needed on a night when their starter, Junior Guerra, twirled a doozy over 8.2 innings. It was Carter's 23rd homer of the season and his first since July 8. The first baseman's .217 average leaves much to be desired, but he's now on pace to challenge the 40-homer mark, a feat that would also set a career high for the 29-year-old slugger playing in his seventh MLB season.
