The Mets (41-24) own the best record in the National League  and will attempt to complete the sweep of the Rockies (12-52) on Sunday before returning home.

After the Rockies briefly tied it up, the Mets went to Jared as Jared Young hit a solo shot to lead off the fifth inning. They tacked on another run on a RBI single by Brandon Nimmo that inning but in the sixth it was Jeff McNeil’s turn to leave the yard for the team’s third home run of the day.

Mauricio blasted his first major league homer since 2023 — a 456-foot rocket in the third inning — and was on base as part of another scoring rally in helping the Mets beat the Rockies 8-1 at Coors Field. The Mets finished 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position, but hit three homers in beating the hapless Rockies for a fifth straight time.
