Allen Craig drove in the winning run on a fielder's choice Wednesday as the Cardinals beat the visiting Diamondbacks 3-2 in the bottom of the 12th inning. Craig reached base in all six of his plate appearances on the evening, singling in the second, fourth, and eighth innings, walking in the sixth and 10th, and then forcing an errant throw from Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings on a game-winning fielder's choice grounder in the bottom of the 12th. This is hopefully the start of something good for Craig, who is still sporting a weak .233/.293/.355 on the year.

Allen Craig went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Braves. Craig's bat had been noticeably absent for most of the first month of the season. Friday's effort, however, marks his fifth multi-hit game since April 28. As a result, Craig brought his OPS up to a high-water mark of .653.

Allen Craig smashed a three-run homer on Friday, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Pirates. Craig also singled in the contest, finishing the night 2-for-4 to raise his season slash to .211/.259/.353. He has started to find his power stroke in recent weeks, and now has four long balls and 14 RBI on the season.

Allen Craig is not in the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday. Craig looked like he was ready to break out of his slump last week after a 7-for-13 stretch that included two homers, but he's gone 2-for-20 since. Randal Grichuk is getting the start in right field Wednesday.

Allen Craig had a big day at the dish Wednesday, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in a win over the Brewers. Craig doubled off of Matt Garza in the third and then doubled in two runs off Wei-Chung Wang in the fourth before launching a solo shot off Wang in the sixth. He then capped off his day with an opposite-field single in the eight versus catcher Martin Maldonado, who was forced to pitch with the Brewers' bullpen taxed recently. Craig is starting to heat up, going 8-for-17 with two homers, two doubles and a triple over his last four games.

Allen Craig went 2-for-4 with a homer and two walks against the Brewers on Monday. It was just the second homer for Craig, and it was a solo shot, so he still doesn't have a multi-RBI game this year. Nevertheless, this was the most promising performance he turned in all month.

Allen Craig went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Pirates on Sunday. Craig is still mired in a pretty bad slump, but the RBI was at least a step in the right direction -- it was his first run batted in since April 16. The 29-year-old is still batting just .177/.223/.240 with one home run and six RBI on the year.

Allen Craig went 0-for-4 on Thursday and is without an RBI in his last eight games. Craig's rep is that he's a stud with RISP. However, he isn't getting many opportunities there with the Cardinals in a collective slump and he hasn't capitalized when he does get a shot, going 3-for-19 with no extra-base hits. In today's loss, he led off the inning in three of his four at-bats. Fantasy leaguers should stick with him, of course, but it's been a pretty brutal start.

Allen Craig went 2-for-4 with a run scored against the Nationals on Friday. Craig had two of the Cardinals' five hits on the night. The 29-year-old has now hit in seven straight games, though this was his first multi-hit game of the season. We expect the RBIs to be there soon.

Allen Craig hit his first home run of the season in the Cardinals' loss to the Brewers on Wednesday. It gave the Cardinals their only run of the afternoon. Craig began the season in a bad funk, but he's making better contact lately and should soon begin racking up RBI with great regularity in a loaded St. Louis lineup.
