After homering in his final three at-bats on Wednesday, Carlos Gonzalez picked up right where he left off blasting his fourth consecutive home run in the first inning on Thursday, leading the Rockies to an 11-5 rout over the Astros. He finished the night filling up the box score, going 3-for-4 with three runs scored, three RBI plus a walk and a stolen base. He's on an absolute tear right now hitting .332 on the season with 14 homers, 44 RBI and eight steals. He's leading the National League in slugging, runs scored, RBI and total bases. With Matt Kemp heading back to the disabled list, Gonzalez looks like the early front runner for the NL MVP award.
