Blackmon opened Tuesday's contest in San Diego with a leadoff home run, ultimately finishing 1-for-4.

This was Blackmon's first long ball of the season, but there should be plenty more to come now that he's no longer bothered by a turf toe injury. He's averaged 18 homers per year over his two full major-league seasons and will once again be counted upon to provide a healthy mix of speed and power atop the Rockies' order moving forward.
