Carlson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.
Carlson took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the opening frame for his first home run since June of last season. After slashing .198/.275/.240 in 59 games with the Cardinals, he needed just two games to hit his first homer as a member of the Rays. Carlson should get plenty of opportunities with the Rays given all their recent moves during the trade deadline.
