Bucs' Rodriguez, D-backs' Drury win NL Co-Player of Week

September 19th, 2016

Last week's homer barrages from Pittsburgh's and Arizona's have earned the two Co-National League Player of the Week honors.
Rodriguez hit .414 with five home runs and 12 RBIs in eight games last week, and he will enter Tuesday with homers in three straight games. Rodriguez hit a game-winning pinch-hit three-run homer in the top of the ninth Tuesday to propel the Pirates to a 5-3 win over the Phillies, and he added a solo shot and three more RBIs two days later in Pittsburgh's 15-2 romp of Philadelphia.

Drury hit .500/.588/1.036 with four home runs and seven RBIs in seven games, leading the D-backs to a sweep of the Rockies and a four-game series split wth the Dodgers. Drury recorded three multihit games in that stretch, bookending his week with a pair of four-hit efforts.
