Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk and run scored Thursday in a win over Colorado. A day after seeing his ten game hitting streak come to an end, Goldy produced his third two-hit game in his last four starts. Goldschmidt is experiencing a minor power outage with just one home runs and two doubles since June 17, but continues to lead baseball in average and on-base percentage, while ranking second in slugging.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, a run, and two stolen bases Monday in a win over the Dodgers. Goldschmidt is up to 15 steals in 19 attempts, good for a 79 percent success rate. He will have a shot at a 30/30 season if he can keep up his success on the base paths in the second half, which hasn't happened since 2012.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4, driving in both Arizona runs, Friday in a loss to the Padres. The D-backs' offense was held in check by Tyson Ross, but as usual Goldschmidt made an impact. He has now reached base in seven straight games since his 27-game on base streak came to an end last week.

Goldschmidt was 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and stolen base Thursday in a loss to Colorado. With 13 steals thus far, Goldschmidt should challenge his career mark of 18 set in 2012. The 27-year-old first baseman is the top combination of power and speed in baseball right now and has swiped three bags, to go along with one home run, in the last week.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with his 20th home run, a walk, two RBI and runs Wednesday against Colorado. Goldschmidt reached 20 home runs in the first half for the second time in his career. With his ability to hit for power and average, he is in rare company in 2015 - only Goldschmidt and Bryce Harper have more than 20 home runs and better than a .300 average. That said, his .393 BABIP is a bit high compared to his career rates, so expect his batting average to come down bit as fewer hits fall in over the coming weeks.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with two RBI and his 12th stolen base of the year Sunday in a win over San Diego. Goldschmidt continues to put up incredible numbers - he leads baseball in batting average (.356) and on-base percentage (.474), and ranks fifth in home runs (19). Amazingly, his 12 steals puts him inside the top 15 in stolen bases too. He is an elite guy and maybe the fantasy MVP thus far.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI, and his 11th stolen base of the year Friday against the Padres. Goldschmidt was back to his usual routine of getting on base at an amazing clip one day after his streak of 27 consecutive games reaching base was broken. Only Bryce Harper has been as good as Goldschmidt offensively this year, and no one with as many stolen bases as his 11 steals has even 15 home runs.

Goldschmidt failed to reach base for the first time in 27 games Thursday, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Angels. Goldschmidt's incredible run comes to an end as C. J. Wilson carved up the Diamondbacks in this one. Goldy is still the owner of a .357/.474/.668 line and is one of the leading first half MVP candidates.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Angels. Goldschmidt had two hits to raise his batting average to .363, which leads the league. On top of that, he's now reached base in 27 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the majors. For the season, the 27-year-old has a .363 batting average, 50 runs, 19 homers, 54 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Goldschmidt had another huge game Monday, going 3-for-4 with his 18th home run, three RBI, a double and a walk against Anaheim. This was Goldy's fifth straight multi-hit game and extended his streak of reaching base safely to 25 consecutive games. Among other categories in which Goldschmidt leads baseball, he received his 16th intentional walk last night, which is six more than the next closest player and more than 22 teams have this year. He might be the most dangerous hitter in the game right now.
