Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 3-2 loss Thursday against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt appeared as the designated hitter Thursday, receiving a break from the field for the second time this season. After popping out and striking out twice in his first three plate appearances, he singled and stole a base in the eighth as the Cardinals attempted a comeback. In May, the veteran has been excellent, slashing .314/.442/.514 with eight walks in 10 games. The stolen base was his third on the season and, while he's no longer a threat for 20 steals in a season, the 34-year-old is still capable of reaching double-digit thefts.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Saturday to snap an eight-game hit streak during which he went 16-for-34 with a homer, two doubles, nine RBI and four runs, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Albert Pujols will start at first base while Corey Dickerson serves as the designated hitter.
