The New York Mets continued their hot streak with a decisive 13-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, completing a season sweep and extending their lead in the NL East. Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each homered twice, fueling the Mets’ offensive explosion in Denver. Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez also went deep, as New York finished a 5-2 road trip and improved to 42-24, now.5 games ahead of Philadelphia.
For the Rockies, the loss marks their sixth straight defeat to the Mets this season, dropping their record to a league-worst 12-53. Colorado remains anchored at the bottom of the NL West, trailing the division-leading Dodgers by 26.5 games. The Rockies’ struggles are reflected in their -198 run differential and just six home wins all year.
Looking ahead, the Rockies will try to regroup as they host the San Francisco Giants next, while the Mets return home to face the Washington Nationals. With the NL West race heating up among the Dodgers, Padres, and Giants, the Rockies’ schedule doesn’t get any easier—raising questions about how much further they might fall behind as the season progresses.
