Matt Holliday finished 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 4-1 defeat of the Phillies. Holliday launched his clutch three-run shot to right field in the sixth inning, putting St. Louis ahead for good. He's now batting .319/.399/.546 with 22 homers and 79 RBI in 111 games played this season, and suddenly has the look of an NL MVP candidate. The Cardinals are just 1 1/2 games back of a Wild Card berth.
