Drew to take opposite-field approach at plate

Drew notched two hits in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Royals, serving a soft fourth-inning single over the shift into left field and legging out a more conventional double in the sixth. As Drew tries to pump his batting average above the Mendoza line, he can't be picky.

"I'm going to take what they give me," Drew said.
