The New York Mets overpowered the Colorado Rockies 13-5 on Sunday, completing a season sweep and extending the Rockies’ losing streak to eight games.
Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each blasted two home runs, leading a Mets offense that tallied six homers and hits. Alonso’s pair of two-run shots marked his 23rd career multihomer game, breaking the franchise record previously held by Darryl Strawberry. McNeil added a three-run homer and a solo shot, matching his career high with three extra-base hits. Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty also went deep for New York.
Ronny Mauricio made headlines with a steal and a run scored, showcasing his speed and versatility. Mauricio’s performance included a key early steal—his second of the season—and an RBI double, fueling the Mets’ offensive outburst.
Juan Soto reached base six times, going 3-for-3 with three walks and three runs scored, marking a perfect day at the plate.
The Rockies, now 12-53, struggled on the mound as rookie Chase Dollander allowed five runs in three innings. Colorado will look to regroup as they begin a new series against the Giants on Tuesday, while the Mets, now 42-24, return home to face the Nationals.
Fans are left wondering: Can the Mets keep this power surge going, and will Mauricio’s breakout continue as the season heats up?
