Belting a 92 mph fastball, just as Martinez had, Goldschmidt, seven for 13 against Pomeranz, walloped a 449-foot drive to left center for his first homer since June 19.
The Cardinals had a 3-0 lead and their most runs in the first inning since they got four at Chicago on June 8. Former Arizona star Goldschmidt’s homer was his 100th against teams from the National League Western Division, most by an active player. It also marked the first time the Cardinals’ first baseman had had extra-base hits in three consecutive games this season.
