Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman took Graham Ashcraft deep in the first and third innings in a wild affair that saw the two teams combine for 10 runs in the first four frames. Remarkably, Goldschmidt has only homered in three of the last 32 games, but all three times he launched multiple long balls. He's up to nine homers in 49 games on the season to go along with a stellar .293/.404/.521 slash line.

Goldschmidt went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
For the second game in a row, Goldschmidt's patience at the plate was rewarded. He's now racked up eight walks, two steals and four runs scored despite going 0-for-10 across his last four games. His seven thefts this season match his total from last year, and he's slashing .301/.407/.514 with seven home runs, 23 RBI and 31 runs scored through 45 contests.

Goldschmidt went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 16-8 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt went hitless for a third straight game, but he's logged at least one walk in five of his last six contests. With his ability to keep the line moving, he was also to get involved in run-scoring. He stole second in the fourth inning, allowing Oscar Mercado to steal home. For the season, Goldschmidt is slashing .302/.400/.517 with six steals, seven home runs, 23 RBI and 31 runs scored across 44 contests.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI and one run in Monday's 18-1 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt has posted four hits across the past two games and has turned in three multi-hit efforts in his last four contests, bringing his season-long batting average up from .306 to .319. Though the Cardinals are still sitting eight games under .500 for the season, the team's struggles don't fall on the shoulders of the reigning National League MVP. His .949 OPS is only 33 behind his mark from 2022, and he's already two stolen bases away from matching last season's total of seven.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with three homers, four RBI, four runs scored and a steal in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt homered in the first, third and eighth frames, with all three traveling over 400 feet. It was the third three-homer game of his career and his third multi-hit effort over his last four games, as he helped the Cardinals finally end their eight-game losing streak. While the team is struggling as a whole, Goldschmidt is putting up near-identical numbers to his MVP campaign a season ago. The 35-year-old is slashing .321/.409/.582 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 22 runs, four steals and an 18:26 BB:K over 154 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt has opened May by going 6-for-17 (.353) with four doubles over four contests. The first baseman is now slashing .312/.403/.520 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored, 14 doubles and three stolen bases through 32 games on the season. He's still one of the best hitters in the majors at age 35, though his power has yet to show up in full force so far.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 two doubles, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was the 150th of Goldschmidt's career, three of which have come this season. That's solid work on the basepaths for a first baseman, though he's far from a significant speed threat overall. He's gone 10-for-25 (.400) over the last six games and is now slashing .310/.415/.530 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs and 10 doubles through 26 contests in 2023.
