EDGE Analysis
The first baseman went just 2-for-13 over the three-game series versus the Cubs earlier this week. Goldschmidt has gone multiple games without a hit just twice this season, as he remains one of the Cardinals' most consistent batters. He's slashing .316/.395/.546 with seven home runs, 20 RBI, 25 runs scored, 14 doubles and four stolen bases through 38 contests.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with three homers, four RBI, four runs scored and a steal in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt homered in the first, third and eighth frames, with all three traveling over 400 feet. It was the third three-homer game of his career and his third multi-hit effort over his last four games, as he helped the Cardinals finally end their eight-game losing streak. While the team is struggling as a whole, Goldschmidt is putting up near-identical numbers to his MVP campaign a season ago. The 35-year-old is slashing .321/.409/.582 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 22 runs, four steals and an 18:26 BB:K over 154 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt has opened May by going 6-for-17 (.353) with four doubles over four contests. The first baseman is now slashing .312/.403/.520 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored, 14 doubles and three stolen bases through 32 games on the season. He's still one of the best hitters in the majors at age 35, though his power has yet to show up in full force so far.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 two doubles, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was the 150th of Goldschmidt's career, three of which have come this season. That's solid work on the basepaths for a first baseman, though he's far from a significant speed threat overall. He's gone 10-for-25 (.400) over the last six games and is now slashing .310/.415/.530 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs and 10 doubles through 26 contests in 2023.

EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt carried St. Louis' struggling offense Wednesday, producing half of the team's hits and plating two of its three runs on a pair of solo homers. It was the first four-hit game and first multi-homer effort of the season for the star first baseman, who is slashing .315/.417/.533 through 108 plate appearances. Goldschmidt has added four homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs, two steals and a 15:17 BB:K.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Goldschmidt's first multi-hit outing in his last five games. He took Drey Jameson deep for a solo shot in the first inning. The power isn't up to last year's standard for Goldschmidt, but he's slashing a strong .328/.449/.516 with two homers, nine RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and two stolen bases over 17 contests.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt saw a six-game hitting streak end Friday, but he bounced back quickly. He also had a bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning to briefly put the Cardinals ahead 3-2. The first baseman is enjoying a productive start to the season, slashing .327/.456/.473 with a home run, two steals, eight RBI and eight runs scored over 15 contests.

He's added two RBI, three runs scored, a stolen base and a 3:2 BB:K while occupying his usual No. 3 spot in the order.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Goldschmidt's always had pretty good speed and instincts for a first baseman. He swiped seven bags over 151 contests last season, though his days of challenging for 20 thefts could be behind him despite MLB's offseason rule changes. The reigning NL MVP will look to follow up Thursday's performance with another strong campaign, and hitting in the heart of a strong lineup should help him produce in the standard roto categories.
