Out Of The Deep Freese

From Elias: David Freese entered Friday night's game homerless in his last 112 at-bats, the longest drought of his big-league career; he had not homered since September 19 of last season, off Lucas Harrell. But with the bases loaded and two outs in the first inning, Freese took a Wily Peralta pitch over the centerfield fence for his second career grand slam. The Brewers would rally but never tie the game, with the Cards winning, 7-6. Freese was the first Cardinals third baseman to homer this season, in their 41st game; the last time that the Cardinals went deeper into a season without a home run from the hot corner was 1986, when they went homerless from third base in their first 112 games of the season: their first homer from third base was hit by Terry Pendleton on August 14 of that year, against the Mets' Ron Darling at Shea Stadium.
