DENVER (AP) Charlie Blackmon raised his batting average to an amazing .500 with three more hits, including a key double during a six-run burst in the eighth inning that led the Colorado Rockies over the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-7 Tuesday night.
After starting out the year 0 for 9, Blackmon has hit in 15 straight games. He's 34 for 68 through 17 games in the coronavirus-shortened 60-game season.
''It's special to watch. He's in a great place right now mentally and physically,'' Trevor Story said of Blackmon. ''He hits the ball so hard. He's just driving it. It's cool to see what he can do in the three spot.
