Cardinals' Stephen Piscotty: Makes first 20-homer season official

Piscotty hit his 20th homer, walked and scored two runs as part of a 2-for-5 game in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

Analysis:

The second-year man's swing is in fine form, as he's now slammed three homers in the last four games and racked up 15 hits over the last 12 games. He's brought his average back up to .280 with this hot streak, partially reversing the slow and steady downward slide he'd experienced in that category.
