The Yankees were forced to pivot after Juan Soto spurned them for the Mets last winter, and one of those free-agent signings clubbed the big blow in support of another Friday night in The Bronx.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul Goldschmidt carried his sizzling April into May with a three-run homer \u2014 his second blast in as many games \u2014 to account for all of the support emerging ace Max Fried needed in a sharp 3-0 victory over the Rays at the Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goldschmidt\u2019s two-out blast to right field in the fifth against Tampa lefty Mason Montgomery marked only his third homer of the season overall, but the seven-time All-Star first baseman is now batting .361 \u2014 trailing only teammate Aaron Judge\u2019s scorching .430 mark in all of MLB \u2014 with 16 RBIs and a .906 OPS in his first 32 games with the Yanks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s overshadowed by what he does. He\u2019s incredible,\u201d the 37-year-old Goldschmidt said about Judge. \u201cI don\u2019t think anything about [my numbers]. It\u2019s a long season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d love to get a hit every time, I\u2019d love to hit for a high average with the most homers and the most wins as we can. But we know there\u2019s gonna be ups and downs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goldschmidt\u2019s stats and spirits have remained up since signing a one-year deal worth $12.5 million to don the pinstripes in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His instant production comes after enduring a down 2024 campaign, in which he posted career-worst figures in batting average (.245), on-base percentage (.303) and OPS (.716) with 22 homers and 65 RBIs in 154 games for the Cardinals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not trying to feel validated, I\u2019m just trying to play well,\u201d Goldschmidt said. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a long year, but I think as far as stuff that I changed with my swing, I haven\u2019t really changed anything. I was just creating some bad habits [last year], and it was just trying to get back to some of the basics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo for me, the big part is really not paying too much attention to [my start], and just showing up and putting in the work and being prepared to help us win every day. If I do that, I know the numbers have the best chance to be as high as they can be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A huge part of Goldschmidt\u2019s fast start in The Bronx has been his success against left-handed pitching. <\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s homer boosted his numbers against southpaws to 18-for-30 (.600) with an OPS over 1.700.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if [he] exceeded [expectations],\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cI know I wanted him here. \u2026 I think it\u2019s just his professionalism. But I knew that, and I expected that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI expected a high level of that, and we\u2019ve certainly gotten that. His preparation is his game within the game. His moxie, his situational awareness with things, all the things that you get to see up close and personal, have been really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
