Charlie Blackmon Knocks 13th Homer
7 years agoColorado Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon smacked his 13th home run of the season on Friday, starting a strong fifth inning that included another home run by teammate Trevor Story and got Colorado back into a game that had been a bit of a blowout. Following a red-hot start to the season, Blackmon has cooled down. He hit nine home runs in April, but only three in May. His on-base percentage actually went up in May due to a spike in the number of walks he took, but the lack of bombs was definitely noticeable. He's off to a quick start to June though, hitting .353 with a home run and two triples so far, so hopefully he's back to driving the ball more.
