It was a night of long balls and crooked numbers at Coors Field as the New York Mets put on an offensive clinic, dismantling the Colorado Rockies 13-5. The stars of the show were Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil, who each launched two home runs, powering the Mets to a dominant victory and a season sweep of the Rockies.
Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil combined for 4 home runs and 9 RBIs in a single game.
The Mets offense was relentless, scoring in six different innings, but the main event was the power surge from two of the team's cornerstones. Pete Alonso was in classic Polar Bear form, finishing with 2 homers and 5 RBIs, including a back-breaking three-run shot in the seventh that blew the game wide open. Not to be outdone, Jeff McNeil matched him with his own two-homer, four-RBI performance. It was a spectacular display of power that left the Rockies' pitching staff with no answers and gave Mets fans a thrilling show.
While the offense grabbed the headlines, Kodai Senga delivered another quality performance on the mound. The 'Ghost Fork' was working as he navigated the treacherous Coors Field air for 6 innings, striking out 8 while allowing just 3 runs. It was exactly the kind of steady performance needed to support a red-hot offense. The bullpen came in and locked down the final innings, preserving the comfortable lead and securing the win.
This win wasn't just a one-off; it's part of a larger trend of dominance. The victory pushes the Mets' record in June to an impressive 6-2, a .750 winning percentage for the month. They've outscored opponents by 23 runs in that span, and their season-long run differential now sits at a stellar +88. This team isn't just winning; they're winning decisively, a hallmark of a true contender. The stability of the roster, with no new injuries to report, has been a key factor in this consistent success.
Even as the big-league club thrives, there's good news coming from the farm system. Right-handed pitcher Raimon Gomez, a potential bullpen weapon, has officially returned to health following Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile, the organization's No. 8 prospect, Baez, is nearing the end of his rehab stint. While the current roster is performing well, having these potential reinforcements getting healthy provides valuable depth for the long season ahead.
The Mets are clicking on all cylinders. The offense is explosive, the starting pitching is solid, and the team is demonstrating a killer instinct by sweeping series they're supposed to win. With a healthy roster and reinforcements getting ready in the minors, the Metropolitans are solidifying their status as a force to be reckoned with. The key now is to carry this June momentum through the dog days of summer.
