VIDEO: Paul Goldschmidt Puts Cardinals Ahead of Cubs With Another Home Run
By Scott Rogust
The hottest hitter in Major League Baseball right now is St. Louis Cardinals slugger Paul Goldschmidt, and it's not even close. Entering Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs, Goldy hit a home run in six of his last seven games. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Goldschmidt extended the streak by hitting a solo blast to left field off Cubs starter Yu Darvish to break the 1-1 tie for the Cardinals.
That's another late-game lead for the Cardinals as Goldschmidt continues to tear through July. The NL Central race is about to get wild.
