Highlights were few for the Cardinals on Sunday in their 8-0 dusting by the Milwaukee Brewers. Well, there was one.
Paul Goldschmidt shot a single to right field in the ninth inning, capitalizing on his final shot to extend his hitting streak.
That streak now is 20, running concurrently with a 34-game on-base streak.
The hitting streak, one behind Los Angeles’ Trea Turner, who went to 21 on Sunday, is the longest by a Cardinal since David Freese had a 20-gamer in 2013. Goldschmidt is 36 for 79 (.456) during the spree and has 30 runs batted in for May, most by a Card since Carlos Beltran had 31 in 2012.
