Charlie Blackmon Reaches Hit Milestone
6 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon became the seventh Rockies player all time to accrue 1,000 career hits when he smacked a single in the sixth inning on Tuesday night. Blackmon finished the game with a pair of singles, just his second and third hits for the month of August. Hopefully, the multi-hit night will be enough to pull Blackmon out of the slump he's been in. He's really been pushing recently, leading to seven strikeouts in his last five games, so the successful evening should be a bit of a relief. Blackmon is still putting together a strong season, but nothing compared to last year's 37 home run, .331 performance.
