Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a home run, four walks, two runs and three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs. Goldschmidt saw 31 pitches as Chicago pitchers routinely tried to avoid the strike zone. Goldschmidt's batting average has jumped to .315 during his six-game hitting streak, good for ninth in the National League. He's on pace for 35 homers and 133 RBI, numbers that would put him squarely in MVP discussions.
