Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes hits 3-homers, drives in 7 runs at Coors Field

The Colorado Rockies just can’t figure out the New York Mets, evidenced by the Rockies being on the losing end in each of the last eight times the clubs have met. New York hit five homers in a game for the first time since September 5, 2014, at Cincinnati.Cespedes tied a franchise record with his three homers and set career-highs in homers, hits, RBIs and runs. In addition to Cespedes’ homer hat trick, Travis d’Arnaud and Michael Conforto hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning to give the Mets a 12-8 lead.

Not so for his counterpart.

Start of a bad night: If Gray had made better pitches with two outs in the first inning, he might have settled in and pitched better. And the ball is flying right now.

Ranking 27th, Colorado is near the bottom of the league in walks, notching 285 this season.

When they outhit their opponents, the Rockies are 38-13. We’ll have our work cut out for us. “We’ll take a look at it tomorrow and see how it goes”.

Do not adjust your internets, the Mets actually beat the Rockies for the second straight night by the same ridiculous score of 14-9.

If the Mets don’t want to leave Colorado following the conclusion of today’s series finale, it’s understandable since they’ve feasted on Rockies pitching these last two nights.

The Mets have scored a combined 28 runs in two games at Coors Field this weekend. “I was just trying to go as long as possible and not give up as many runs”.

“That third inning, I definitely missed my spots and left the ball up”, Rusin said. The game starts at 8:40 p.m. ET on Friday, August 21 and will air on RTRM, SNY and MLBN. You don’t ever wish it upon anybody, you don’t wish it upon yourself.

Niese had flushed a 3-0 lead in the second by allowing a bases-loaded triple to Kyle Parker. It was his second career grand slam and third home run as a Met.

The ugly, discolored bump on Bartolo Colon’s right forearm swelled as quickly as the Mets’ lead Friday night at Coors Field.

Mets: 1B Lucas Duda has gone on the 15-day disabled list with a back injury. The top hitting team in the league are the Mets, who have a. 236 batting average. He’s expected to reinstated from the DL on Monday. Collins checked on Colon twice with the trainer, and they allowed him to continue each time.

“No aspect of our game was tremendously good tonight”, manager Ned Yost said after the 7-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Juan Lagares, Curtis Granderson and Wilmer Flores each had three hits and Juan Uribe hit the team’s only homer. Hundley is being examined for a possible concussion.

All of this happened only a few hours after Terry Collins announced that Matt Harvey would indeed be skipped Sunday, with Logan Verrett to make his major-league debut as a starter. Cespedes’ 5 hits is his new career high.
