Arizona Diamondbacks' first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is on fire, amassing a career-high 15 game hitting streak and providing a much-needed spark to an offense that's struggled to find its stride so far this season.

Goldschmidt, who has hit .451 with a .492 on-base percentage during his streak, was a guest on Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Friday and deflected the attention away from himself and his contributions at the plate.

"I wouldn't say [I'm] carrying this team at all," Goldschmidt said. "I mean we've got a lot of great guys. We've been up and down this year but we've played well the last two games and hopefully can continue it and play better going forward."

The 24-year-old got off to a slow start this season and shared a good portion of playing time with veteran Lyle Overbay. But instead of getting down on his luck, Goldschmidt persevered through his slump with an incomparable work ethic and positive attitude.

"Whatever the lineup is every day you just go with it," Goldschmidt stated. "Days when you're not playing, you do what you can whether it's an opportunity for a pinch-hit or just being ready or being a good teammate."

Goldschmidt didn't detect any fundamental flaws in his approach at the plate and knew it was only a matter of time before balls would start falling in for him.

"I felt comfortable in there," Goldschmidt said. "I was getting some pitches to hit and I was just fouling them off or just missing them or hitting balls right at people. So the results weren't there but I felt comfortable in the box and I knew if I could just stay positive and keep with my approach that things would turn around."

And boy, have they ever.

Goldschmidt's increased his average to .288 on the season and stroked fourteen of his 23 hits during the streak for extra bases.

But what's garnered Goldschmidt the most attention thus far has been his utter ownership of San Francisco Giants' ace Tim Lincecum. Goldschmidt has blasted four home runs off of the two-time Cy Young Award winner in a mere 12 at-bats.

"I've been able to get in some good hitter's counts off of him and got some good pitches to hit but he's a great pitcher," Goldschmidt said. "Hopefully we'll have some more battles to come for the years and you never know it's been good so far but it can change in a hurry."

In the meantime, Lincecum isn't the only hurler befuddled by the D-backs' first baseman. Pitchers around the league have been left scratching their heads trying to solve the red-hot Paul Goldschmidt.
