I have the same problem. I beleive its Phytophthora crown rot. Classic of hot dry conditions after wet warm weather. Remove infected plants. Dont replant in same area. Protect non infected plants with a broad spectrum fungicide such as chlorothalonil.

Pictures: a couple of my infected plants and one healthy one.
