The last time Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo hit a home run was on June 15 off Kenley Jansen at Dodger Stadium. This puts his home run-less streak at 26 games. His game-winning blast that night was home run number 19 on the year, which, at the time felt like he was on pace to shatter his career-high of 32 home runs. The Chicago slugger is one home run shy of seven straight 20-plus home run seasons.
So what is up with the power outage? Is it a slump? The truth of the matter is despite the lack of home runs, Rizzo has been red hot at the plate.
