With a sixth-inning solo home run and multi-hit performance in Friday’s 7-5 St. Louis Cardinals victory over the Cincinnati Reds, Jedd Gyorko shares the team-lead with four round trippers and nine extra-base hits. Among major league third basemen, Gyorko places within the Top 20 for hits (16), runs scored (10) and RBIs (8).
Gyorko’s surge comes at a time where he has started all but two of the team’s last nine games at the hot corner, a stretch during which the Cardinals have won seven games to move above .500 for the first time since Opening Night.
