The New York Mets lose big in Colorado



The New York Mets were defeated by the Colorado Rockies on Friday night.  The final score was 10-3 and the game took place at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado.  Zach Wheeler started and wasn't very good, the bullpen was ok.  Juan Lagares, Curtis Granderson and David Wright each had a couple of hits. 

Wheeler pitched four innings giving up seven  hits and seven runs with six of them being earned.  He walked two and struck out one and lost his third game of the season.  Jeurys Familia pitched an inning striking out one, Carlos Torres pitched two innings and gave up five hits and three runs with two strikeouts and Kyle Farnsworth pitched an inning giving up a hit. 

Jorge De La Rosa pitched six innings giving up eight hits and three runs with three walks and four strikeouts.  He won his third game of the season.  Chris Martin pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout, Matt Belisle pitched an inning giving up a hit and drew a walk and Tommy Kahnle pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout.   

Lagares had two hits, Daniel Murphy had a hit and Wright had two hits.  Chris Young had a hit and drew a walk, Granderson had two hits and two RBI and Josh Satin drew two walks.  Travis d'Arnaud had a hit, Ruben Tejada drew a walk and Lagares hit a double.  Granderson hit a homerun and the Mets were 1-6 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base.  Murphy was caught stealing, Tejada committed an error and Young had two outfield assists. 

Charlie Blackmon had three hits and two RBI, Nolan Arenado had a hit and drew a walk and Troy Tulowitzki had three hits and three RBI.  Justin Morneau had two hits and two RBI, Wilin Rosario had one hit and two RBI.  Corey Dickerson had an RBI, Brandon Barnes had a hit and DJ LeMahieu drew a walk.  De La Rosa had a hit and Wheeler had a hit.  Morneau and Barnes each hit a double, Blackmon hit a homerun and the Rockies were 5-10 with runners in scoring position and left four men on base. 

In the first a wild pitch gave the Mets a 1-0 lead.  Tulowitzki had an RBI single, Morneau hit an RBI double, Rosario had an RBI single and Dickerson hit a sacrifice fly to give the Rockies a 4-1 lead.  In the second Tulowitzki hit a two run single giving the Rockies a 6-1 lead.  Blackmon hit an RBI groundout in the fourth extending the lead to 7-1.  Granderson hit a two run homerun in the sixth to cut the lead to 7-3.  In the seventh Blackmon hit a solo homerun, Morneau hit an RBI single and Rosario hit a sacrifice fly to give the Rockies a 10-3 lead and that would be the final score. 

The Rockies have won the first two games of this four game set.  The two teams will play game three on Saturday night.
