Standout: Paul Goldschmidt

Paul Goldschmidt came up golden in the tenth inning of Monday’s contest.

With the bases loaded, Goldschmidt hit a grand slam to left field scoring Lars Nootbaar, Tommy Edman, and Edmundo Sosa. The home run traveled 366-feet at 105.7 mph.

The homer was Goldy’s seventh of the season. Here’s a tweet of the celebration.

Goldschmidt was 1-for-5 on Monday, with three strikeouts. Goldschmidt definitely came up big when it mattered most. Goldy was 2-for-3 on Tuesday, walking once and striking out once. The Cardinals just could not get it together offensively Tuesday.
