Dansby Swanson continues hot streak for Cubs against Padres

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is on a notable hot streak following a strong performance against the San Diego Padres. Swanson hit three home runs on July 1 and has posted nine home runs and 29 RBIs in the last 65 plate appearances from June 17 to July 5. His recent surge has placed him among Cubs greats like Sammy Sosa and Hack Wilson in terms of RBI production over a 16-game span. The Cubs recently concluded a 16-10 June, and Swanson's continued performance is critical as they head into the All Star Break.
