Alec Burleson's quiet night still helps Cardinals edge Nationals

Alec Burleson went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in the Cardinals' narrow 7-6 victory over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
While not a standout performance, Burleson's ability to get on base and swipe a bag contributed to the team's overall success. Despite a lackluster showing in this particular game, Burleson maintains a solid .281 batting average over 80 games this season, with a decent power-speed combo highlighted by 13 homers and six stolen bases. His consistent contact and occasional power make him a viable option in most fantasy formats, though his low walk rate suggests a need for strategic deployment against pitchers with high strikeout capabilities.
