Cubs' Anthony Rizzo: Extends hitting streak to seven games

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run in Tuesday's win against the Pirates.

Analysis:

Although his batting average is down, the 26-year-old first baseman is demonstrating growth in a majority of offensive categories. Through 91 at-bats, Rizzo is walking more, striking out less, making more contact and hitting for more power than he ever has. The only thing holding him back is a .206 BABIP, which should eventually work its way back near his career .284 average.
