FACTS/FLUKES: Goldschmidt, J. Baez, Cashner, Markakis, Taillon

Goldschmidt rebounds from slow start … When we last checked in with Paul Goldschmidt (1B, ARI) back on May 27, he was off to a slow start, batting .247 with 8 HR. Now his batting average sits at .295 to go along with 17 HR. Is there any reason for concern?
