3 years agoColorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run homer in a 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Hampson wasn't in the starting lineup as Colorado went with Connor Joe, Charlie Blackmon, and Sam Hilliard in the outfield. Hampson was still able to make an impact in this game as he delivered a clutch, pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. The two-run homer tied up the ball game and Colorado would go on to win the contest in the bottom of the ninth, courtesy of another clutch long ball. It's doubtful that many fantasy managers were starting Hampson as he didn't start in this ball game but it's still nice to see him show some power. He's now homered in back-to-back contests and has his season batting line up to .240/.294/.390 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, and 15 stolen bases over 354 at-bats.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
