Paul Goldschmidt ripped a run-scoring single in the 14th inning to lift the Diamondbacks to a 7-6 win Tuesday against the Cardinals. Goldschmidt's winning hit improved his average to .376 with runners on base.
"I pretend there is nobody on base and just stick with my same approach," he said. "It's worked so far. We'll see what happens the rest of the year."
Goldschmidt collected three hits Tuesday, which included two doubles. He has at least one RBI in each of his first four June games (eight total RBI) and three multi-hit games. Since May 1, Goldschmidt is batting .378 (42 for 111) with eight home runs, 11 doubles and 31 RBI. His batting average has gone from .287 to .335 in that span.
"He's just got a great approach up there," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said of Goldschmidt.
