Gyorko went 3 for 4 with a double and a run scored. The Padres managed just seven hits against St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright and reliever Carlos Martinez, and Gyorko's double was the only extra-base hit. Gyorko is hitting a robust .278/.347/.430.

Gyorko hit .247/.317/.323 in April but is hitting .310/.375/.586 in May. Gyorko was starting to show signs of effectiveness in late April, with eight hits in his final four games that month. 

Fantasy owners may have dropped Gyorko after a poor start, but he seems to have turned things around. Gyorko is owned in 72 percent of leagues, but he's a must-add for owners who need help in the middle infield or at third base.

Before Quentin and Headley returned, the power production fell on Gyorko and Yonder Alonso. Just to throw a little more on his plate, Gyorko was playing in his first month of major-league baseball and was bouncing between third and second base (he is eligibile at both). But he has 150 plate appearances behind him, some big bats in the lineup, a steady role at second base and the chance to tap into his minor-league potential (55 home runs in 2011 and 2012 and a .319 average over 1,343 at-bats).

Gyorko's April may have turned some owners off, but he had a similar set of lineup circumstances to established slugger Giancarlo Stanton, yet never got the same, "well, his lineup sucks" excuses when he struggled early. Gyorko is owned in 67 percent of leagues but should see that number skyrocket as more Fantasy players take notice of his now-favorable situation. 

Both of Gyorko's three-hit games have come in May. After managing one multi-hit game in his first 17 outings, Gyorko has six multi-hit games in his last 20 appearances.

He's batting .307 (23 for 75) in that span, raising his batting average from .210 to .263. He leads all rookies with 36 hits.
