PHOENIX -- Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt hit the first pitch he saw into the second deck. He added three more hits, two more RBI.
Maybe the Diamondbacks should give him days off more often.
Yeah, right.
Goldschmidt had a homer among his four hits and drove in three runs to tie a team record with his fourth straight multi-RBI game, helping the Diamondbacks roll over the San Diego Padres 9-3 on Tuesday night.
"For him to step out of it, know he wasn't going to play, he was probably able to turn off his brain for a period of time when he's not used to turning off his mind and I think it was very refreshing for him," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.
