Standout – Paul Goldschmidt

Paul Goldschmidt continued on the track that led him to win NL Player of the Month honors for May. He just keeps hitting. It’s awesome to see.

On Thursday, he was 1-for-5 with a run and an RBI. In the third inning, Goldschmidt doubled to center field, scoring Harrison Bader. Goldy scored on a single off the bat of Nolan Arenado.

On Friday, he was 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs, and three RBI. Goldy knocked his 12th home run of the season on a fly to right-center field, scoring Bader and Tommy Edman. The blast traveled 390-feet at 102.9 mph.

Goldschmidt broke his hitting streak on Saturday afternoon, walking twice without getting a hit.

On Saturday evening, he was 1-for-5 with two runs. On Sunday, he was 2-for-5 with one run.

Nolan Arenado singled to center field in the fifth inning Sunday, scoring Edman and Goldschmidt.
