Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt remained in the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres, despite manager Kirk Gibson hinting Saturday he would rest the All-Star first baseman. Goldschmidt entered Saturday mired in a 0-for-9 slump in his previous two games before clubbing his 23rd home run.
Goldschmidt has just two hits in his last four games, but both of those hits have been home runs. He has eight RBI and nine walks in his last seven games.
