Less than a month after he was languishing in the minors, Matt Carpenter showed why his bat has become popular with New York teammates — along with that bushy mustache.
"I put him in the garage for a week and pulled him out for a spin," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said."That's impressive."
Higashioka and Carpenter were late additions to the lineup because second baseman Gleyber Torres felt nausea and catcher Jose Trevino had back pain. "I was confident with what I was doing at the plate, was hopeful that this would potentially happen, and now it's been a lot of fun to see it play it out," Carpenter said.
Carpenter played flawlessly at third base with two assists in his first big league game in the field this year.Having shaved his longtime beard to comply with Yankees rules, Carpenter joined mustachioed pitcher Nelson Cortes to inspire Marwin Gonzalez and Lucas Luetge to give fuzzy upper lips a try.
