Goldschmidt hit his 11th home run as part of a 3-for-4 game with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt managed his first multi-hit game since May 31 and raised his average from .262 to .272 in the process. While Goldschmidt has been excellent this year, with a .429 OBP and .490 SLG, the .300 batting average he has produced in each of the past two years has yet to show up. Part of that is a lack of lineup protection -- Goldschmidt has walked 55 times in 59 games and isn't getting much to hit. Still, it will only take a few more games like Tuesday's for Goldschmidt to get his average back to where we're used to, and if anybody's capable of rattling a few such games off in a hurry, it's Goldschmidt.
