That old Charlie Blackmon magic is back.
The wooly right fielder stayed hot Saturday night, blasting a two-run homer and scoring two runs in the Rockies’ 7-6 win over Atlanta at Coors Field.
The Rockies improved to 45-23 at the ballpark in LoDo, and as the Braves are discovering, it’s not a place to pad division leads. Fortunately for the Braves, Philadelphia lost to Miami again on Saturday, allowing the Braves to maintain their two-game lead in the National League East.
The Rockies won despite a so-so start from German Marquez and a shaky eighth inning from reliever Daniel Bard, the deposed closer.
