Goes deep in loss Drury went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Hits first triple Drury went 2-for-5 with an RBI triple and a run scored in a 10-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Drury opened the offensive floodgates in the third inning with a triple off Anthony DeSclafani, his first of the season.

According to Fangraphs, Drury has already accumulated a 1.8 WAR this year to tie his career-best season-long total from 2018. Drury's offensive production has been a pleasant surprise for a player with numerous seasons below replacement-level value.

Impact Drury went yard in the eighth inning, but it was far too late to make an impact on the result. He's clubbed seven of his 15 homers in his last 21 contests while going 28-for-84 (.333) in June. The productive month has boosted his slash line to .270/.329/.522 with 37 RBI, 44 runs scored, a stolen base and 13 doubles in 61 contests overall. As long as the bat stays hot, Drury should be penciled in for a near-everyday role at third base and as the No. 2 hitter.
