Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit his 32nd home run in Arizona's win Sunday over Colorado.

Mets infielder Wilmer Flores returned to action in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Marlins Saturday night.

Flores made an impact as he singled in a run in the opening frame for his only hit of the night. He finished 1 for 4 with an RBI in a 3-1 victory. He is hitting .213/.256/.288 with one home run and 12 RBI in 80 at-bats.

Marlins infielder Donovan Solano was hit by pitches in his first two at-bats Saturday, so he opted to return the favor to the Mets in his third. Solano hit his third home run of the season to help lead the Marlins to a 3-0 win. 

Solano went 1 for 3 with two runs scored, while driving in one. He has an RBI in four straight games, giving him 31 on the season. 

Reds first baseman Joey Votto hit his 23rd home run Saturday during a win at Milwaukee. Votto went deep in the sixth inning for a two-run shot.

The 30-year-old has 69 RBI on the year over 539 at-bats as it certainly hasn't been the best of seasons for Votto. Still, he's hit in six of his last eight games with five multi-hit contests over that span so he's heating up down the stretch.
