Right up until D-backs manager Torey Lovullo delivered the news, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt did not think he would be heading to his sixth straight All-Star Game presented by MasterCard, which will air on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. MST on FOX.
Certainly not on May 22, when he was hitting just .198 and had those in baseball wondering what in the world was going on with him. Goldschmidt is not only an All-Star again, he's hitting third in the lineup as the National League's designated hitter. Pitchers Zack Greinke and Patrick Corbin are the D-backs' other representatives.
