Goldschmidt went 3-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.
The 36-year-old first baseman took Bryan Hoeing deep in the fifth inning to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead, but the team's offense went cold the rest of the way. It was Goldschmidt's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 12 and he's slashing just .221/.294/.429 through 85 plate appearances on the month, but Tuesday's long ball was his 20th of the season -- the 11th time in his career he's reached that plateau.
