Goldschmidt's 499 RBI are the eighth-most in the major leagues since his debut on Aug. 1, 2011.

1B Paul Goldschmidt was given Monday off. "I wanted to give him a day off before next weekend," said Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale. "I didn't think giving him a day off against the Dodgers was ethically the right thing to do. You need to play your best players in those games."

1B Paul Goldschmidt, who is slumping, talked with manager Chip Hale after the Saturday night game. "He says he feels good," Hale said. "Obviously, his at-bats have not been what we're used to. When we see him struggle a couple games in a row, our automatic feeling is he's tired. But the game is tough." Of the season's 162 games, "He plays probably 158 of them. It's not easy. He's going to have some times where he doesn't look his best." Goldschmidt went 1-for-6 with a walk on Sunday.

He has played in 128 of 131 games, and he leads the league in games and plate appearances (573). "You just prepare to come in off the bench instead of start," said Goldschmidt, who wasn't needed in an 11-2 win over the Reds. "(Manager Chip Hale) knows I'll play every day, but days off are good, too. It's a long season. I feel good, but you are planning for the long haul, too."

"I've kind of said I probably wouldn't want to do the home run derby just to take another day to relax," said Goldschmidt, who was not asked to appear this season. "Seeing those guys take a lot of swings, is definitely a lot." Stanton won the derby with 61 homers in three rounds.

The Diamondbacks and Rockies next play Sept. 2 at Coors Field. Afer the game, Goldschmidt told reporters, "I had no clue whatsoever there was anything like that or that you guys even tracked that. So I have no idea." When told he had tied Mike Piazza for the longest on-base streak against the Rockies, Goldschmidt jokingly said, "Oh good, send me a trophy. I don't care guys. I mean, 48 -- that's like three years ago. Who cares?"
