FACTS/FLUKES: Rizzo, Cervelli, Galvis, Nelson, Reed

Rizzo crushing it ... When we last checked in on Anthony Rizzo (1B, CHC) in late May, he was batting just .229 on the season. At the time, analyst Ryan Bloomfield determined a low hit rate was to blame for his struggles, and sure enough, since June 1, he's posted a .332/.417/.641 batting line, with 13 homers in 252 plate appearances. Check out the numbers now.
