FACTS/FLUKES: Goldschmidt, T. Williams, Renfroe, Buchholz, B. Anderson

Goldschmidt puts miserable start in the rear-view … Paul Goldschmidt (1B, ARI) finished May with 7 HR and a pitiful .209 BA in 196 AB—a far cry from the .305 BA and 31 HR per season he averaged from 2015-17. However, he has since rebounded in a huge way and will enter September with a .290 BA and 30 HR in 496 AB. What might 2019 have in store?
