Diaz was a perfect 5-for-5 against San Diego on Saturday, with two doubles, a run scored, and two RBI in the win.

He's been shaky defensively but absolutely scorching at the plate for the Cardinals since stepping in at shortstop following injuries to Jhonny Peralta (hand) and Ruben Tejada. Diaz is slashing an incredible .467/.500/.822 in 45 at-bats, and while it's clear he won't continue at this pace, the 25-year-old has likely forced his way into the everyday lineup for the foreseeable future.
