Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei whitianga - I eke a Carpenter i tana mahi tuatahi i muri i te waa i te Oketopa 17, 2012, i te Taakaro 3 o te National League Championship Series
(NLCS) ki te San Francisco Giants. Ko te home run e rua nga rere i puta mai me te rua i te raro o te toru o nga waahanga o te Giants ka timata a Matt Cain. I whakauruhia a Carpenter ki te keemu mai i te papa hei whakakapi i a Carlos Beltrán i whara i te wahanga tuarua.
