David Freese went 3-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored as the Cardinals beat the Marlins on Saturday.

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.

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.
