DENVER -- Given his cold start to the season, it was inevitable that D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was going to heat up, and boy, is he scorching right now.
Goldschmidt hit a solo homer in the first inning Saturday, his third in two days, to give the D-backs a 1-0 lead over the Rockies at Coors Field.
Coming into the game, Goldschmidt led all National League players since May 23 in slugging percentage (.827) and OPS (1.275) with a minimum of 50 plate appearances. The five-time National League All-Star entered Saturday 10-for-14 over his last three games.
