Ildemaro Vargas sees hit streak end as Diamondbacks fall to Cubs
The honor comes a week after Vargas took home NL Player of the Week.
Vargas, who just saw his 27-game hitting streak end over the weekend, has been on a tear this season.
Over 22 games in April, Vargas slashed .372/.393/.663 with a 1.056 OPS. He recorded 32 hits (five home runs), 19 RBIs and three walks to 11 strikeouts. He was easily one of Arizona’s biggest standouts a month into the season.
He continued his impressive stretch into May behind a four-hit game in Friday’s loss to the Chicago Cubs that pushed his average to .404 at the time. He also moved up Arizona’s leaderboard with the second-longest hitting streak in franchise history, passing Paul Goldschmidt.
The streak came to an end on Saturday, though Vargas got back to his hitting ways on Sunday behind a single.
For the year, Vargas is slashing .382/.406/.657 with a 1.063 OPS in 26 games played. Entering play Monday, he paces Major League Baseball in batting average and is third in OPS.
The Diamondbacks are off Monday ahead of six-game homestand against the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets.
