Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in the Diamondbacks' 7-2 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers had the game well in hand when Goldschmidt took Clayton Kershaw deep in the top of the seventh inning, but the long ball -- the first baseman's fourth in five games -- was a welcome sight following a slow start to the season. In addition to showing a resurgence in the power department, Goldschmidt's strikeout rate has also started to stabilize, offering hope that he'll be able to raise his .241 average closer to his .298 career mark in the weeks to come. One lingering area of concern for Goldschmidt is his lack of involvement on the basepaths to date, as he hasn't attempted a steal through the Diamondbacks' first 15 games after recording no fewer than 18 stolen bases in any of the past three seasons.
