Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 7-0 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old put together a line reminiscent of his prime, as he launched a solo shot off Rich Hill in the fifth inning then swiped a bag in the ninth. Goldschmidt is now up to 25 homers on the year, the sixth time in his career he's reached that plateau, and his 12 steals are his highest total since he racked up 18 in 2017.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
All three of the first baseman's hits were singles, and he accounted for half of the hits St. Louis recorded in the game. Goldschmidt has gone a bit quiet in run production, as he's gone five straight games without an RBI. For the year, he's slashing a hearty .286/.355/.485 with 24 home runs, 82 RBI, 76 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 578 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 3-1 win over Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt launched a two-run homer off Luis Castillo in the first inning to get the Cardinals going. The veteran slugger is enjoying a terrific August, going 36-for-103 (.350) with 15 extra-base hits and 24 RBI in 26 games. He's up to 79 RBI with 51 extra-base hits and an .833 OPS through 554 plate appearances this season.

Goldschmidt, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a run-scoring double and a bases-loaded walk in a win over the Pirates on Saturday, went into Sunday's series finale with 22 RBI in 24 August games and a .333 average with runners in scoring position on the season.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger has been raking throughout the second half of the season and has served as one of the best clutch hitters in all of baseball of late. Goldschmidt's RBI career high is a lofty and likely unreachable 125 (2013); however, at 77 RBI with 34 games remaining, he would appear to have a fighting chance of eclipsing the 97 runs he knocked in back in 2019, which currently serves as his best tally over the last four campaigns.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple in a win over the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
There seems to be no end in sight to Goldschmidt's second-half surge, much to the delight of fantasy managers. The veteran slugger has been especially lethal during the latter portion of August, as he's compiled a .404 average, 1.227 OPS and 11 extra-base hits (seven doubles, Friday's triple, three home runs) while striking out at a minuscule 6.0 percent clip over 50 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 3-2, extra-inning win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran carried St. Louis' lineup, accounting for two of its five hits and scoring each of its three runs. Goldschmidt now has multiple hits in 12 of his last 18 games, a span during which he's hit .370 with seven doubles, four home runs and 15 RBI. The first baseman's batting average has increased each month this season after being .214 in April, and he's now slashing .282/.349/.471 with 21 home runs and 73 RBI in 2021.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The star slugger is seeing the ball well of late, but he was riding a homer drought that extended for 13 games before he went deep in this one with a solo shot in the fifth inning off reliever Kyle Keller. Goldschmidt's hitting streak has reached 11 games and has recorded multi-hit contests in all but one of his last seven contests, so he continues to be one of the most dangerous bats in the National League. He's slashing .355/.402/.526 through 84 plate appearances in August.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Brewers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
There seems to be no slowing down the veteran slugger, who has four consecutive two-hit efforts and six such tallies in his last seven games overall. Goldschmidt's extended hot stretch dates back nearly two months, as he's slashing .342/.404/.540 with 11 doubles, seven home runs and 28 RBI in his last 40 games.
