| Cris Carpenter joined Team USA for the Pan American Games as the top reliever, allowing Gregg Olson to join the rotation. Carpenter was 6-1 with 5 saves and a team-best 1.37 ERA that summer. During the 1987 Pan American Games, he was named MVP, not allowing a run during the round-robin. He blew the Gold Medal game against the Cuban national team with five runs in the final two innings to cost the US an upset, but he still was 3-1 with a save and 0.90 ERA on the tournament and allowed only 11 hits in 20 innings while striking out 23. He signed with the Cardinals and scout Vern Benson in September. |
