Diamondbacks could influence MVP vote as Giancarlo Stanton, Paul Goldschmidt go head-to-head

Word travels through the Diamondbacks training room when another ball disappears into the seats.

First baseman Paul Goldschmidt can’t turn away from the TV when he catches a glimpse.

And manager Torey Lovullo just shakes his head because what he thought was a line drive to third base somehow sailed into the left-field bleachers.

“It’s amazing,” Lovullo said. “It’s amazing. He’s mastered that art.”

Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has wowed the baseball world this season as arguably the most powerful bat in the game with a majors-leading 56 home runs entering action Friday, and the Diamondbacks aren’t immune from the admiration.
