RBIs keep coming 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 i...
Impact 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.

Two more extra-base hits Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple in a win over the Pirates on Friday.
Impact 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.

Goes deep twice in win 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.
Impact 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.

Ends homer drought Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
Impact 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.

Stays hot Thursday Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Brewers on Thursday.
Impact 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.

Doubles twice in loss Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run Wednesday in the Cardinals' 6-4 loss to the Brewers in 10 innings.
Impact Goldschmidt's first double of the night scored Tommy Edman and gave the Cardinals an early 3-0 lead, but Milwaukee clawed back from the early deficit to send the game to extras before prevailing in the 10th. Though Goldschmidt has now churned out three two-hit games in a row and is batting .345 in August, he's left the yard just one time this month and is on pace for his lowest home-run total in a full season since 2016 (24).
