Acquired by the Cardinals from San Diego before the 2016 season, Jedd Gyorko has hammered his former team with every opportunity. In 10 games against the Padres, Gyorko has hit .500 (18-for-36), and seven of those 18 hits have been home runs. He has 16 RBIs in those games for the Cardinals, and his overall slash line is .500/.550/1.167. That's a 1.717 OPS. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny often talks about how there's something about facing the former team that brings out the best in a player, and it's been a rule of thumb he's used to write the lineup.
