The Cardinals pounded the Pirates in the second game of a double-header last night, 11-1. Jason Heyward provided a big blow, with a grand slam in the third inning. He finished 3-for-4 with a walk and is now batting .292 for the season.
Fantasy Impact
Heyward's batting average is 25 points above his career average, while his on-base percentage and OPS nearly mimic his career mark. He's a solid, all-around offensive player who should continue to be a good second or third fantasy outfielder next season.
