BIS: Goldschmidt setting MVP pace

Paul Goldschmidt's improved plate discipline, line-drive ability and superb defense have him playing at an MVP-like level for the Diamondbacks, writes Scott Spratt.

Hudson takes next step

The Arizona Diamondbacks rotation is pretty full, but there might be one more arm joining the mix around midseason. Right-hander Daniel Hudson, who is recovering from last year's Tommy John surgery, threw 53 pitches over four innings against Angels minor leaguers in an extended spring training outing Friday, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Goldschmidt Too Hot For Miami

From Elias: Paul Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers and a double in the Diamondbacks' 9-2 win over the Marlins. Since May 1, Goldschmidt is 22-for-50 (.440) with six doubles and seven home runs. No other major-league player this season has accumulated 22 hits and seven home runs over a span of 50 at-bats. The last Diamondbacks player who had 22 hits and seven home runs in a 50-at-bat span was Tony Clark back in 2005. With his two home runs on Friday night, Paul Goldschmidt has hit 12 home runs this season and 10 of them (83 percent) have been hit with runners on base (in fact, all ten of his homers with men on base have been two-run shots). No other player with 10 home runs this season has as high a percentage of multi-run homers.
