Hunter Goodman

The 25-year-old backstop got the Rockies on the board first as he ripped an RBI single off of Jack Leiter in the top of the first inning. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the ballgame though. As a team, the Rockies had just five hits on the night, with Goodman the only player on his club to collect more than one. With his two-hit attack, he's now slashing a terrific .299/.354/.497 to go with six long balls and 25 RBI.

The 25-year-old hurler walked three batters while striking out five on the night. The only blemish on his day came on a two-out RBI single by Hunter Goodman in the opening inning after Jordan Beck had singled and swiped second base. Leiter didn't allow another hit from that point on. He got 14 whiffs on 89 pitches on the evening, registering a strong CSW of 33 percent. He'll attempt to replicate this fine performance as he totes a 4.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 23/14 K/BB ratio (29 innings) into Sunday's showdown against the Astros.

Goodman went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double, five RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

All three runs against Elder came on a homer with two on by Hunter Goodman in the first. After that, Elder was able to hold the lowly lineup off the scoreboard and lowered his ERA to a still shaky 5.33 over his five starts. He does get his first win, and he'll go for his second against the Reds next week.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 3-0 lead with his homer off Bryce Elder in the first inning. The 25-year-old has five homers and an OPS of .827 over his 90 at-bats, and he should continue to hit in the middle of the Colorado lineup. That's not exactly the highest compliment, but it's something.
