There probably aren’t many hitters in the minors hotter than Moises Gomez right now. He has homers in three straight games, four in his last five, six in his last nine, seven in his last 11, and eight in his last 13. For the season, he has 18 dingers, two shy of Ronaldo Hernandez’s league-leading 20.
