Charlie Blackmon Drills Fourth Homer
6 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon led a failed comeback attempt on Friday by knocking out his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth. Unfortunately, the team fell a run short anyway. Blackmon has been hitting at a torrid pace since recovering from his slow start, and he's now hit safely in 17 of his last 19 games. He's batting .307 over that period with four home runs and 15 RBI, and he's striking out just 14% of the time. Blackmon's slow start shouldn't slow down his season-long numbers, and it looks like he's settled into a pace where he'll finish with the numbers owners expected.
