David Freese - 3B - Cardinals

David Freese went 2-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk Friday in a win over the Reds.

It was a balanced attack for the Cardinals, as all eight starters reached base and seven did so at least twice. Freese knocked in a run with a single in the top of the fourth inning and added an RBI double in the seventh. After getting off to a slow start this season, the 30-year-old now has a 17-game hitting streak. That's the longest active streak in the majors.

David Freese returned to action on Friday went connected on a two-run homer and an RBI double against the Dodgers.

It was Freese's first game in five days because of a cut right thumb. He's gone 6-for-15 with two homers in his last four games, so it seems his long slump is over. Now if only he can stay in the lineup.

Matt Carpenter is at third again Wednesday, with Daniel Descalso covering second.

David Freese - 3B - Cardinals

David Freese needed stitches along the base of his right thumb after Sunday's win over the Brewers.

Freese suffered a small gash while applying a diving tag on Norichika Aoki's cleat at home plate. The Cardinals' third baseman does not expect to miss any playing time. He's finally starting to come alive offensively after a dreadful first month-plus and might make for a decent buy-low candidate in some fantasy formats.
