I think Goldie started off with the base hit, Bellinger said postgame. You know, ultimately just, you know, kept on, you know, trusting in the guys and put together good at-bats and, um, you know, continued swinging at the right pitches. And today, you know, we broke through. You know, the long ball Grish got us going and, you know, gave us a lot of confidence going into that game.
As mentioned by Bellinger himself, Paul Goldschmidt and Trent Grisham were the stars of the victory against the Angels. Goldschmidt had homered, scored twice and drove in an RBI with two hits to his name. On the other hand, Grisham had the same stats but had an extra RBI.
