St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt isn't having his best season, but he was able to bask in the moment after reaching his 2,000th career hit.
"This hasn't been my best year—it's probably been my worst year in the big leagues performance-wise—but hopefully I can change that going forward," said Goldschmidt,. "That's the goal. At some point -- maybe after the season or when my career is over—that's when I can say, 'Oh, that's pretty cool to have accomplished that.'"
Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning for his 2,000th hit, but the Cardinals still fell to the Nationals 10-8 on Friday.
