HARRISON BADER NEWS

Reaches base four times in win Bader went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and an RBI in Monday's 7-0 win over the Mets.

Impact Bader produced only three hits combined in the Cardinals' past seven games, but he tied Yadier Molina for the team lead in the category Monday. After the quality day at the dish, Bader upped his average to a respectable .262 since the All-Star break, but he isn't supplementing it with much in the way of counting stats. He's recorded five home runs, one stolen base, 22 RBI and 18 runs in 53 second-half games.

Swats homer No. 10 Bader went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-4 win over the Reds during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Impact He took Wade Miley deep in the second inning, one of three homers the Cards launched off the veteran southpaw. Bader hadn't had a multi-hit performance since Aug. 14 and hadn't gone yard since July 29, snapping a 29-game homerless drought. After going 0-for-2 in the nightcap he's batting .244 on the year with 10 home runs, six steals, 28 runs and 32 RBI through 73 contests.

Offensive slide continues Bader went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Sunday in the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Hitless games have become the new norm in the second half for Bader, who has submitted a wretched .147/.229/.179 slash line in August while striking out at a 27.6 percent clip. Bader's stellar defense in center field may be the only thing keeping him in the everyday lineup over the hot-hitting Lars Nootbaar, who has been forced to settle for a fourth-outfielder role since Dylan Carlson returned from the injured list Aug. 24.

Posts two hits in win Bader went 2-for-4 with a run scored Saturday in the Cardinals' 9-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Since turning in back-to-back three-hit efforts against Cleveland on July 25 and 27, Bader hadn't recorded a multi-hit game in any of his subsequent 14 starts before Saturday. Bader has provided a measly .490 OPS thus far in August, but his standing as the Cardinals' everyday center fielder doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy.
