Charlie Blackmon’s father throws out the ceremonial first pitch during one of Rockies Great’s final games

Charlie Blackmon’s father threw out the ceremonial first pitch Thursday at Coors Field in one of his son’s final games before retiring.

It was a strike.

Blackmon announced earlier this week that this is his last season in the MLB. The 38-year-old had three RBIs and three runs in the Colorado Rockies’ come-from-behind 10-8 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

“I guess you just never know what’s going to happen at Coors Field,” Blackmon said. “I told the guys this was a Coors Field grinder. We’ve seen that match before. You have to make sure you never give up. You never know what could happen.’

Blackmon’s two-run home run in the second inning was the 227th of his 14-year career, tying Carlos Gonzalez for fifth in franchise history.

His three RBIs were his most in a game since May 27.

The Rockies face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

“I think I’d like to enjoy this, these last three games,” Blackmon said. “I have no goals other than the fact that I want to remember and enjoy as much as possible.”
