Alec Burleson went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Cardinals' 4-2 victory over the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
His performance was highlighted by a critical home run that helped secure the win for St. Louis. Despite a modest .259 batting average over 20 games this season, Burleson's ability to drive in runs was on full display, bringing his RBI total to five. His power stroke hasn't been consistent, as evidenced by this being only his first homer of the season, but games like this could hint at potential for more impactful hits as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Burleson for signs of increased power, but temper expectations given his overall performance metrics and sporadic production.
