Goldschmidt drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first frame before ripping an RBI single off Trevor Gott in the top of the fifth and stealing second base. He later added a double in the seventh inning, which was 41st two-bagger of the year. Goldschmidt came into Tuesday's contest in a 4-for-27 cold spell over his previous seven games, but he still owns a .318 average with 35 homers, 114 RBI, 103 runs and seven stolen bases over 146 games in 2022.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt's fourth-inning blast was the only run in the game until the Nationals' offense woke up in the seventh and eighth frames. It's been a rather pedestrian start to September for Goldschmidt -- he's gone 5-for-20 (.250) with two home runs in the first six games of the month. The first baseman is still doing just fine overall, as his 35 homers put him one shy of matching a career-high mark he achieved in both 2013 and 2017. He's added 108 RBI, 99 runs scored, six stolen bases and 35 doubles through 130 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt got St. Louis on the board with a two-run home run off Chicago starter Drew Smyly in the bottom of the first inning. In the third, Goldschmidt singled, stole third and scored, and he walked in the sixth. The two-hit game snapped a recent 1-for-14 slump while the homer was the 34-year-old's first extra-base hit since two long balls Aug. 25, which were also against the Cubs. Goldschmidt and his 34 home runs now sit two behind NL leader Kyle Schwarber while his 107 RBI and .331 average pace the Senior Circuit.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt has recorded hits in eight of his last nine games, slashing .405/.452/.730 with three home runs, three doubles, 11 RBI and seven runs during that time. He'll get a rare day off while Brendan Donovan starts at first base and bats second.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt singled home a run in the third inning while adding a single and a three-run homer in the ninth to cap an eight-run inning. The 34-year-old has compiled a solid five-game hitting streak, during which he's batted 12-for-20 with three doubles and three homers to boost his average from .328 to a league-leading .341 in addition to posting league-best marks in on-base percentage (.422) and OPS (1.062).
