Homer and double in win
Burleson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 victory against the Brewers.
Analyse
Burleson crushed a 443-foot, two-run shot over the right-field wall to extend St. Louis' lead to 5-0 in the sixth inning. Although he has struggled against left-handed pitching all season (.497 OPS), Burleson did most of his damage Wednesday against them, including the home run off Brewers reliever Jared Koenig. The 27-year-old Burleson now has a .277/.339/.474 slash line with 15 homers and 66 RBI through 90 games this year.

Sitting versus southpaw
Burleson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Analyse
The left-handed-hitting Burleson is slashing only .188/.215/.238 versus lefty hurlers, so the Cardinals will give him some rest as the Brewers send southpaw Shane Drohan to the hill. Blaze Jordan will slide across the diamond to first base, and Jose Fermin will occupy the hot corner.
