EDGE Analysis
Blackmon connected for a two-run shot -- his 23rd of the year -- off starter Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning. Blackmon has had multi-hit performances in three of his last four games but is hitting just .224 with two homers and six RBI in the month of August. The 32-year-old has just 55 RBI on the year (coming in at No. 30 among MLB outfielders) but ranks fourth in the majors with 93 runs.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a stolen base, a run scored and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon led off the home half of the first with a single before singling again later for a second straight multi-hit day. The stolen base was just the seventh of the year in 11 attempts for the 32-year-old who swiped 43 bags as recently as 2015, but though the speed aspect of his game has diminished, he's the National League leader with 91 runs scored. Blackmon is hitting just .208 over 77 at-bats in August, but maintains a .276/.343/.474 slash line on the year.

Blackmon is out of the lineup against Atlanta on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon will take a seat for just the second time since July 1 as David Dahl gets a start in center field in his stead. Across 13 games this month, Blackmon is hitting .151/.224/.208 with just one extra-base hit (a home run) and two RBI while striking out 15 times. Manager Bud Black will give him a chance to clear his head as the Rockies begin a big four-game set against the Braves.

Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon connected for a two-run shot -- his 21st homer of the year -- off Jack Flaherty in the fifth inning. Blackmon has extended his hitting streak to 13 games and is slashing .289/.358/.505 on the year. The outfielder isn't attempting stolen bases as often as in prior years (24 attempts last year and 26 attempts in 2016 compared to just eight so far this year) but he's finding ways to remain a productive force. Blackmon's 80 runs are good for fourth in the majors.

Blackmon went 1-for-2 with a home run and two walks in Wednesday's win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Locked in a 2-2 tie in the home half of the ninth, Blackmon deposited Collin McHugh's 3-1 offering over the wall in center for a walkoff solo home run. He's now riding a nine-game hitting streak and has been red-hot all month; the 32-year-old is hitting .366 with six homers and 12 RBI in 18 games since the start of July.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored Friday in the Rockies' 11-10 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon picked up right where he had left off prior to the All-Star break in his return to action, logging his fourth consecutive game with at least two hits. The outfielder is hitting .386 with five home runs, 16 runs and 10 RBI over the Rockies' 14 games in July, putting him well on his way to finishing with his best month of the season.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 10-7 win for Colorado over Seattle on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon has now left the yard five times in his last nine games to give him 19 homers on the season, as he continues to heat up headed into the All-Star break. His .846 OPS through 358 at-bats is not on par with the 1.000 mark he put up in last season's ridiculous campaign, but Blackmon is capable of putting up hot streaks with the best of them when he's locked in, so that number could stand to rise in a hurry if he's able to keep up his recent pace into the second half of the season.
