Mets beat up on Rockies as they keep hot streak going

The New York Mets continued their winning ways with an impressive 8-2 victory over the struggling Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The win pushed the Mets to a season-high 14 games over .500 with a record of 36-22.

The Mets wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, as Brett Baty’s three-run triple in the first inning set the tone for the game. The offense continued to click with back-to-back home runs by Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto in the fourth inning, putting the game out of reach for the Rockies.

On the pitching side, Kodai Senga delivered a strong performance, allowing just two hits and two runs in 6 ⅓ innings. Senga has been a reliable starter for the Mets this season, with an impressive ERA of 1.60 in 11 starts.

The Mets loaded the bases in the first inning and capitalized on the opportunity with Baty’s triple and a run-scoring hit by Tyrone Taylor. The offense continued to produce, with Nimmo and Soto adding to the lead with home runs in the fourth inning.

Francisco Lindor had a standout game, reaching base four times and scoring twice to contribute to the Mets’ offensive output.

The victory over the Rockies was the Mets’ sixth win in their last seven games, showcasing their dominance over weaker opponents. However, they will face a tougher challenge when they take on the powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.

Despite the impending matchup with the Dodgers, the Mets can take pride in their recent success and look to carry that momentum into the upcoming series. With a solid pitching performance from Senga and a potent offense led by Baty, Nimmo, and Soto, the Mets are poised to continue their winning ways as they face tougher competition in the days ahead.
