    Are the bottoms touching the ground?
    I noticed when I pick tomatoes the ones that are on the ground turn black where the ground was touching it.
    Also you could try turning them so they are not sitting on the same spot.

    I used to spread straw around each plant and that stopped the black 'damp' spots. Better idea is to use the cages so the fruit doesn't touch the earth.
