19 Charlie Blackmon CF

Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Colorado's 9-4 loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Blackmon hadn't left the yard since May 18, but he was able to dispatch of the brief lull with this fifth-inning solo blast off Zack Greinke. He had been hitting well lately despite the lack of power, as he's bagged six multi-hit games in his last eight contests. Overall, Blackmon is enjoying another fine season at the plate, as he's slashing a terrific .288/.369/.515 over 233 at-bats.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

Blackmon hit a two-run triple -- his third of the year -- off Dennis Santana in the second inning. This was Blackmon's fifth multi-hit effort in his last seven games, and he's now riding a nine-game hitting streak. The outfielder is slashing .279/.369/.515 with 21 extra-base hits and four stolen bases. Blackmon's 45 runs scored rank second in the NL behind Atlanta's Ozzie Albies.

Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Colorado's 6-1 victory over the Giants on Friday.

Blackmon had been in a bit of a slump lately that saw his normally sky-high batting average dip all the way down to .267, but he launched a ninth-inning long ball off the Giants' Jose Valdez for his 12th of the season. The 1-for-5 showing meant his average went down to .265 despite the homer but he's still getting on base at a .373 clip and boasting a robust .543 slugging percentage despite the recent slump and Blackmon is one of the best hitters in baseball, so there's little reason to believe he won't see his average climb back up toward its usual heights in short order.

Blackmon is not in the lineup Tuesday in San Diego.

Blackmon had started every game since returning from a quad injury on April 14. On the season, he's hitting .275/.376/.549 with 11 homers and four steals in 37 games. David Dahl will get the start in center field Tuesday.

Blackmon went 3-for-6 with a triple and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.

Blackmon got his first triple of the season off starter Brandon Woodruff in the third, and the three-hit night improves his slash line to .285/.388/.585. The 31-year-old's 11 home runs and 31 runs scored both rank within the top-five among MLB outfielders. Blackmon is being his typical productive self.
