Blackmon went 3-for-6 with a solo homer, two-run blast and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 extra-inning victory over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The dynamic leadoff man first took rookie A.J. Cole deep in the third before breaking a 4-4 tie in the 11th with a 388-foot shot to right that plated Cristhian Adames. It was a breakout performance for Blackmon, who'd gone just 2-for-15 over his prior five games. The veteran outfielder now has 10 homers in what has been a standout August.
