Note: Church is getting his Stroke Back

Ryan Church hit his second career grand slam yesterday, and his first home run since returning from the disabled list in late August.

Church, regarding his offense, while speaking with reporters following yesterday’s win against the Brewers:

“I’m starting to get my stroke back…I was telling guys earlier this week that it definitely feels like a second spring training for me.  It’s a process, and things are going to finally start coming…It’s been a hectic year…It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.  I’m a big believer in that and hopefully that’s what continues to happen.”

In 12 games since returning from the disabled list, Church is batting .243 with one home run, seven RBI and three doubles.
