The match was filled with intensity, with two on and one out in the sixth inning, Charlie Blackmon stepped out to the plate as a substitute for centre fielder Garrett Hampson. San Francisco Giants brought in the left-handed José Álvarez to face him, but it was completely futile. Blackmon turned on a changeup that was down and in and attacked it towards McCovey Cove, giving the Rockies a lead that they would not give up in a 5-3 win over the Giants.

“It was just really cool to come up in that spot, right?” Blackmon expressed in a postgame interview on AT&T Sportsnet. “Pinch hit off the bench, kind of cold with the lefty, tight game — anyway, it was a really cool, memorable spot to do it.”

Charlie Blackmon’s first long punch in the Oracle Park went as far as 423 feet and how can that be more special, well, it was his 200th career home run on the 11th anniversary of his Major League career. The ball left the bat at whistle top 107.5 mph.

“It was serendipitous, wasn’t it?” manager Bud Black said. “That was a big swing for us. We needed that — obviously, that’s an understatement — but that was a really good swing, gave us a huge lift. I think it pumped up the guys in the ‘pen, and Germán put up a zero in the sixth, so that was big.”

The victory also cracked a four-game losing streak and was just the eighth in the past 28 games for the Rockies. San Francisco has lost 11 of their past 18 games.
