Paul Goldschmidt destroys two baseballs for home runs, second HR hits big screen

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had a good Mother’s Day.

The All-Star hit two home runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates and both were showstoppers.

In the first inning, Goldschmidt did what you would expect for him to do with a pitch right down the middle.

The missile was Goldy’s ninth homer of the season and gave the D-backs the lead back in the bottom of the first inning.

While that was a highlight shot, his second was the most memorable of the two.

The home run to put up into double digits for the season was hit over 450 feet.
