Paul Goldschmidt’s two home runs led the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 9-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Friday night, the first game in a three-game series in Miami.

Goldschmidt is now hitting .338/.421/.656 with 12 home runs and 35 RBI in 42 games for the 24-18 Diamondbacks. The Arizona first baseman has had a torrid month of May, hitting .449 with 7 home runs and 17 RBI.
