EDGE Analysis

Blackmon led off the home half of the first inning with his 14th homer of the season in a game the Rockies would go on to lose. He's gotten off to a great start in August, as he's collected 12 hits, two of which left the yard, over eight games, and he's slashing .308/.370/.485 on the year. He's currently posting career-highs in both on-base and slugging percentage while his batting average is just a single point short of his 2013 mark.
