Fowler went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs in Thursday's 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays in the nightcap of a double-header.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler extended the Cardinals' lead to 4-0 with a 401-foot blast to center in the third. It was the continuation of a modest but potentially pivotal three-game stretch for the struggling veteran, who went 7-for-16 with two doubles, Thursday's homer, two RBI, two walks and five runs in the series versus Toronto. That's boosted Fowler's average from .169 to .224 and his slugging from .296 to .388.
