PHOENIX – Paul Goldschmidt has hit a two-run homer in his return to Chase Field as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.

The 32-year-old Goldschmidt spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks and was a fan favourite during his tenure. He hit .297 with 209 homers and 710 RBIs during his eight years in the desert, helping the franchise make the playoffs in 2011 and 2017.

The Diamondbacks honoured Goldschmidt with a tribute video before the game that highlighted some of his best moments. He also got a big ovation before his first at-bat in the first inning, when he drew a walk.

In the third, he drove a changeup from Alex Young over the right-centre field fence for his 32nd homer of the year. It was also his 100th career homer at Chase Field, which is a stadium record.

Goldschmidt’s homer gave the Cardinals a 4-1 lead.

He was traded during the off-season for catcher Carson Kelly, pitcher Luke Weaver, infielder Andy Young and a draft pick.

Trivino will miss the rest of the regular season and likely the playoffs after cracking a rib falling in the shower. Manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday, Sept. 24, he did not expect Trivino to be available in the postseason should the A’s secure a spot after the 27-year-old right-hander was injured in his Bay Area apartment last week. “We’re saying, for sure, the regular season,” Melvin said. “He’s going to get a second opinion, I think, at some point in time here, but it doesn’t look great, unfortunately.” (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File)
