The hottest hitter in Major League Baseball right now is St. Louis Cardinals slugger Paul Goldschmidt, and it's not even close. Entering Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs, Goldy hit a home run in six of his last seven games. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Goldschmidt extended the streak by hitting a solo blast to left field off Cubs starter Yu Darvish to break the 1-1 tie for the Cardinals.

That's another late-game lead for the Cardinals as Goldschmidt continues to tear through July. The NL Central race is about to get wild.
