Goldschmidt shows expert skills on basepath

MILWAUKEE -- As a two-time National League Silver Slugger and National League Gold Glove Award-winner, D-backs third baseman Paul Goldschmidt is known around the Major Leagues for his top-notch hitting and fielding abilities.

But the four-time National League All-Star has stepped up another area of his game -- baserunning, a skill that is helping the D-backs grind out wins in close games.

Goldschmidt is on pace to pass his career-high stolen base total that he set last season, where he swiped 32 bags. With 12 stolen bases through 50 games entering Saturday, he leads the D-backs and is tied for fourth in the National League with Jonathan Villar.
