Paul Goldschmidt Walks Three Times On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt reached base four times on Saturday, officially going 1-for-1 but walking three times. His hit was a single, so Goldschmidt, who also played first base on defense, must have become quite familiar with that part of the diamond. "Goldy" looks much more like himself this year (in a […]

Yuli Gurriel Remains Steady Source Of Production In 2020

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is quietly on pace for the best offensive season of his career in 2020.
