ST. LOUIS _ What stood tall about Paul Goldschmidt's game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday wasn't just his home run, his three RBIs, or his four times on base to help key a series of rallies for the Cardinals.
It's this: He's been doing it all home stand.
For the second time in three days, Goldschmidt reached base four times and in five consecutive games he's reached base at least twice. He's done it often by walk, sometimes by single, and on Monday, in his fourth plate appearance, he did it with a trot.
