Goldschmidt 2nd in the Majors in hits with 55

Arizona Diamondbacks


Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is in a battle with Toronto's Milkey Cabrera for the most hits in the Major Leagues. Goldy heads into the three-game series with the LA Dodgers with 55 hits, one behind Cabrera who leads the way with 56.

Goldy has cooled off a bit and in his last 23 at bats has hit safely just three times, while his batting average had dropped to .316.

Gerardo Parra has 47 hits for the D'backs this season, while Aaron Hill has hit safely 44 times and Miguel Montero is fourth on the club with 40 hits.

There's a big drop off after that.

Arizona currently ranks 14th out of 30 teams with a .253 team batting average.

Add to that a team ERA of 4.76, ranked 30th in the Majors, and it's easy to see why the Arizona Diamondbacks are 16-27.
