3 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon finally got on the home run board in Monday's 4-1 win over the Phillies, going 1-for-2 with a solo shot and a walk. Blackmon got the Rockies on the board in the sixth inning by taking an Aaron Nola fastball into the center-field bullpen. Despite the excitement, the veteran is slashing just .212/.297/.364 with four RBI in his first 38 plate appearances. Blackmon has seen his power production decline over the past couple of seasons, but he has always been a good source of average, RBI, and runs scored. Hopefully, he can use the remainder of this home series to get things going before the Rockies head to the road for several series.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
