Coors Field, Denver, CO

Sam Hilliard - Three more hits in winHilliard went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

ImpactPrior to this weekend, Hilliard went 2-for-18 over a 12-game span. He's posted consecutive three-hit efforts, though he wasn't as involved in run production as he was when he had five RBI on Saturday. The outfielder is up to a .277/.338/.508 slash line with four home runs, 13 RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and three doubles over 77 plate appearances. While his bat has come to life, he still doesn't have a guaranteed place in the lineup, and he's likely to be limited to a strong-side platoon role at best.

Charlie Blackmon - Contributes in comeback winBlackmon went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

ImpactBlackmon was a contributor in Sunday's eighth-inning comeback, getting the Rockies within two runs on a two-run single before scoring on Ryan McMahon's single. This was Blackmon's fifth multi-hit effort over his last 12 games, a span in which he's batting .300 (15-for-50) with six RBI. He's up to a .258/.331/.400 slash line with eight homers, 38 RBI, 46 runs scored, five stolen bases, 19 doubles and three triples across 89 contests this season.

Jake Cave - Sparks rally with homerCave went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

ImpactCave's blast in the eighth inning sparked a seven-run comeback for the Rockies. The outfielder has tapped into his power this month, going 7-for-28 (.250) with three homers and nine RBI over nine contests in August. For the season, he has a .251/.296/.389 slash line with six homers, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored and four stolen bases over 96 games. All of those marks represent his best production since 2019.

Peter Lambert - Back in actionLambert (thumb) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.1 scoreless innings in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

ImpactLambert bruised his thumb in an appearance versus the Mets on Thursday, but he was able to return in short order. This was just his third scoreless outing in seven appearances since the All-Star break, as Lambert remains in a long-relief role. For the year, he has a 5.73 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 47:24 K:B through 55 innings over 25 appearances (three starts).

Victor Vodnik - Grabs eighth saveVodnik allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

ImpactVodnik erased a leadoff single with a double play and then struck out Travis d'Arnaud to make the Rockies' eighth-inning rally stand for the win. Vodnik has kept runs off the board in seven of his last eight outings, though the exception in that span was a three-run meltdown versus the Mets. He's now up to eight saves while posting a 3.92 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 56:27 K:BB through 62 innings this season.
