Charlie Blackmon hit for the cycle with a triple in the first inning Houston Astros Jersey , a homer in the third, a single in the fifth and a double in the eighth.Colorado had another impressive individual performance earlier in the week when German Marquez began a start against Philadelphia with eight straight strikeouts , tying a record. Jim Deshaies set the modern record by striking out his first eight batters in a 1986 game, and Jacob deGrom matched the feat in 2014. Marquez is set to start Monday’s playoff game.
