Matt Holliday has striking while the iron is hot and has been keeping mum about it. Recently, Holliday is making waves hitting balls after balls game after game.

Even if Holliday is not one to brag, his team mates are more than happy to praise his performance. He recently hit the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning Monday to rally the Cardinals to a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Current standing shows that the Cardinals are one game ahead of Milwaukee after the latter lost to Chicago Cubs while the Pittsburgh dropped three games back. St. Louis is now at the top position in the rankings.

According to McCutchen "It's a game we should have won, that's how I look at it. 'We can't let ones like this get away."

Aside from Holliday, Kolten Wong started the three-run rally in the seventh with a two-run, pinch-hit homer to tie the game 4-all.

According to St. Louis starting pitcher Lance Lynn "I'm OK with him going off all month long. This (three) game stretch, I'd like for it to be like to a 28- to 45-game stretch. If he can keep doing what he's doing, that's a big boost."

Holliday has had three or more home runs in the last three games with St Louis. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said "'He loves to come up with the big hit and he got it again."

Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole was also impressed of Holliday saying "The guy is just unbelievable. He's probably the strongest human being in the world. He just continues to get it done when he needs to get it done."

Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle only has good words for Holliday as well saying "He's been a good player for a long time. That's just what he does."

On the other hand, Pittsburgh jumped out to a 3-0 lead with two runs in the first and one in the second. Neil Walker hit two-run double on the 10th pitch of the game to bring in Josh Harrison and McCutchen.

But in the end, it was the Cardinals who were the better team and the Pirates had to sit back and watch the other team rejoice of their triumph.
