The 37-year-old first baseman did his damage against Mason Montgomery in the fifth inning of this one, blasting an 0-1 fastball for a 350-foot (96.7 mph EV) game-changing home run. Goldschmidt also singled in the ballgame, finishing the evening 2-for-4. While the power hasn’t quite been there to start his Yankees’ career, Goldschmidt is slashing a robust .361/.406/.500 with three homers, 16 RBI and one stolen base.

Goldschmidt gets an opportunity in the leadoff spot on Wednesday night with young lefty Cade Povich toeing the rubber for Baltimore. It’ll be red-hot Trent Grisham batting second followed by franchise cornerstone Aaron Judge and emerging slugger Ben Rice in the heart of the order.

It’s a well-deserved breather for the 37-year-old first baseman who is hitting .369/.421/.476 with only one homer, 10 RBI and one stolen base through his first 27 games with the Bombers. Ben Rice will draw the start at first base and will bat second against Blue Jays’ right-hander Chris Bassitt on Sunday evening.

Goldschmidt’s RBI double in the first should have been caught, but Angel Martínez misjudged it at the wall. It was a barrel anyway, leaving his bat at 104.2 mph. It’s already Goldschmidt’s fifth three-hit game of the year. He totaled nine of those in 154 games last season. He’s been stuck on one homer since March 29, but no one should be complaining about that.
