Paul Goldschmidt’s bat sparked an outstanding offensive performance for the Cardinals hitters, which included four home runs – three by Goldschmidt – and six extra-base hits on the way to their second-highest scoring game of the season.
The Cardinals offense exploded for 12 runs and took advantage of Detroit Tigers miscues as they avoided a series sweep and snapped an eight-game losing streak to end the homestand with a 12-6 win over the Tigers in front of an announced crowd of 44,465 at Busch Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Goldschmidt’s three-homer game was the first by a Cardinals player since Paul DeJong on July 24, 2019.
