Anthony Rizzo cutting down on the whiffs

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has not struck out in his last 31 at-bats, the second-longest active streak in the majors and a far cry from how he began the season.

Rizzo struck out in 27.6 percent of his at-bats in the month of April, leading to a .224 batting average despite eight home runs and 20 RBI. Since May 1, however, he has struck out in just 12.3 percent of his at-bats.

His improved plate discipline has led to a .368 batting average in the month, though he does have just one home run in 14 games.
