Paul Goldschmidt has been an All-Star in each of the past five seasons, and while a slow start to the 2018 campaign had him short of the top five in the first basemen category on the latest Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot voting update, the D-backs star is surging at the plate and making a push to represent Arizona at the 2018 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard on July 17 at Nationals Park.
Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead three-run homer in the fifth inning of the D-backs' 4-2 victory over the Cardinals on Tuesday night at Chase Field, helping Arizona snap a four-game losing streak. He is hitting .277/.385/.538 with 19 home runs this season, thanks in large part to a red-hot June, for which he was named the National League Player of the Month, slashing .364/.460/.738 with 10 homers.
