Paul Goldschmidt - Homers in extra-inning loss Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Nationals. Impact Goldschmidt tried to spark a comeback for the Cardinals after they fell behind in the top of the 10th inning, but his homer was the team's last scoring play of the day. The first baseman has homered twice and added two doubles over his last five contests, though he's also struck out seven times in that span. On the year, he's at a .229/.288/.382 slash line through 99 games while adding 15 homers, 40 RBI, 49 runs scored, 16 doubles and six stolen bases. He's been a bit better in July, slashing .244/.262/.463 over 19 games this month.
