VIDEO: Paul Goldschmidt and Kolten Wong Stay Red Hot and Homer to Extend Cardinals Lead
By Kevin Aquino
The Cardinals are surging with momentum behind the tandem of Kolten Wong and Paul Goldschmidt. St. Louis was feeling it in the top of the fourth inning, where Goldy got it started with his fourth home run in as many games.
Four games, four homers.

Goldschmidt's solo shot, his 22nd of the season, put the Cards up by a pair.
And just a couple batters later, Wong strolled into the batters box, eager to add to the lead. He did just that with a solo shot to right field.

The Cardinals are just behind the Cubs in the NL Central, but a win over the Pirates today could help narrow the gap.
Fans will be hoping Paul Goldschmidt is turning the corner from his early-season woes and is finally finding his groove, as he will be one of their x-factor's as the season progresses.
