Drew Hits For Cycle, D-Backs Come Back on Cardinals


Boy did Stephen Drew have a night. The 25-year old short stop for the NL West leading Arizona Diamondbacks had a 5-5 night at the plate, hitting for the beloved cycle. Drew had a single, two doubles, a triple, and his 15th home-run of the year.

Randy Johnson didn't have a good night, going 3 2/3 innings allowing 4 home-runs and 6 earned-runs. He did strike out 8 though. Still, Arizona found a way to come back from a 6-1 defecit and defeat St. Louis at Busch Stadium.

The Good: The long ball. Felipe Lopez, Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, Joe Mather, Adam Dunn, Stephen Drew, Chris Young, and Mark Reynolds all homered.

The Bad: The Big Unit, not even lasting 4 innings after two strong starts in a row.
