Hunter Goodman continues to be a shining beacon in the Rockies’ otherwise dreary season.
The 25-year-old catcher was named the National League player of the week on Monday after slashing .476/.500/1.000 with 10 hits, three home runs and 10 runs batted in over five games last week. He led the NL in homers and RBIs during that span.
On the season, the all-star is slashing .284/.330/.541 with 29 home runs — the most by a catcher in franchise history — and a team-leading 3.2 WAR.

The Rockies (40-103) tied their franchise record for most losses in a season on Sunday after falling to the Padres, 8-1. Colorado opens a three-game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Monday.
