CF Charlie Blackmon was not in the lineup for the third straight game due to a right big toe contusion. He sustained the injury in a collision at first base with Washington LHP Gio Gonzalez in the first inning Tuesday. Blackmon said Sunday his toe was improved and playing Monday at Milwaukee was a possibility. "It feels a lot better today than it did yesterday, and I expect it to feel a lot better tomorrow than today, so I don't expect it to be very long before it's back to normal," Blackmon said. "It's pretty sore, so being that it's my main push-off part, any time I push off that foot, it's really sore."

CF Charlie Blackmon was named National League Player of the Week for the second time this season and fourth time in his career. He hit .563 (18-for-32) with three doubles, seven homers, nine RBIs, 13 runs scored and a 1.913 OPS last week. Blackmon had a career-high 14-game hitting streak from July 5-22, but during that streak said he felt a little off. During that streak, Blackmon hit .317 (19-for-60) with three doubles, two RBI, six runs scored and a .710 OPS. Blackmon said he recently felt like he broke through a wall physically as he has carefully monitored his diet, how much he sleeps and how much he works out and hits before games. "I feel better right now and this past week than I did during that hitting streak," Blackmon said. "I felt like I was competing really well a couple weeks ago, and now I feel like I'm a lot more confident -- like I'm going to hit balls hard consistently and be able to control the strike zone better. I feel stronger."

OF Charlie Blackmon went deep against the Phillies on Sunday afternoon, his fourth home run in the three-game series. After hitting three solo shots on Friday in the series opener, he took a Phillies reliever Severino Gonzalez changeup and sent it into the bleachers in right field for his fourth solo home run of the series and his 19th home run of the year. It's the first time any Rockies player has ever hit five home runs during a three-game series, and it's the most any player has hit in a 3-game series at CBP, per Elias Sports Bureau. "If you play baseball long enough, eventually you're going to get hot," he said. "I'm grateful I'm seeing the ball well but I'm not going to get too excited."
