    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    A’s News Clips, Sunday, June 20, 2010 Free-falling A's can't stop slide By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune The A's scored twice in the ninth inning and advanced the tying run to second base before falling short against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night. Some folks might rank that as encouraging, others as bitterly disappointing. Regardless, it went in the books as a 4-3 defeat, and it continued the A's recent free fall in the American League West.

For the second straight night, Matt Holliday torpedoed his former team's spirits. He drove in three of the Cardinals' four runs and smashed a two-run homer off Ben Sheets in the seventh that extended the Cards' lead to 4-1. "He was pretty much on everything I threw tonight," Sheets said. "I think that last one, I just got the ball lower than I wanted. I was trying to go in on his hands.
