Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Astros. Blackmon was bumped to bottom of the Rockies' order Monday in the opener of the four-game, home-and-home set with the Astros, but that was likely just a byproduct of ace lefty Dallas Keuchel being on the mound for the opposition. With the Rockies since losing a regular outfield option with Corey Dickerson (foot) landing on the DL following a flare-up of his plantar fasciitis, Blackmon has reclaimed the leadoff spot the last two games and looks to be locked in at that position until further notice.
