GAME STORY | The Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak with a four-run eighth inning built out of singles — starting with Charlie Blackmon. via BennettDurando

Three hours before the return of Charlie Blackmon, Rockies manager Bud Black attempted to manifest osmosis. Now that Colorado’s young hitters could finally observe the lineup’s bearded bastion of contact-hitting in action, Black reasoned, they could absorb and replicate Blackmon’s experienced approach at the plate.

The Rockies assembled a comeback built of singles — two more after Blackmon’s, loading the bases with nobody out, then two more up the middle to score the tying and go-ahead runs with one out. Brenden Rodgers drove in the first two, and rookie Nolan Jones made it 5-4. All six hits in the inning were singles.

“I do think there’s an osmosis that rubs off,” Black said before the game, speaking to the encouraging power of Blackmon’s presence. So naturally, the game started with one of the consummate sequences of the Rockies’ season. Blackmon, accompanied byand Coors Field applause for the first time since June 10, fastened his batting gloves and drew a walk. A hearty, desperately needed leadoff walk after a four-game series in which Colorado hitters struck out 49 times and walked only twice.
