Bader went 2-for-4 with a run scored Saturday in the Cardinals' 9-4 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Since turning in back-to-back three-hit efforts against Cleveland on July 25 and 27, Bader hadn't recorded a multi-hit game in any of his subsequent 14 starts before Saturday. Bader has provided a measly .490 OPS thus far in August, but his standing as the Cardinals' everyday center fielder doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy.
