Rockies 13, Mets 6: Mets unable to overcome Rockies in yet another loss
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Yet another series loss to a bad team. The Mets came into this game in a precarious situation. They had to win the game to win the series against the Rockies. They had not won a series since they played the Dodgers in mid-April, splitting or outright losing every series since, to mostly below-average competition. They’ve had injury issues left and right, and underwhelming performance from all areas of their team. They were looking to Joey Lucchesi to make a good start coming off three short days of rest. It was not a recipe for success,...

Colorado Rockies game no. 34 thread: Ryan Feltner vs. Joey Lucchesi
Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports The Rockies will look to take the rubber match against the Mets The Colorado Rockies are looking to win their second-straight series of 2023, and third of their last four. They just swept the Brewers at home, their first sweep since June 17-19, 2022 against the Padres. That snapped a franchise record 38-consecutive series without a winning sweep. If they win today, they would also win their first series against the Mets since 2018. After an abysmal start to the season, the Rox are 7-4 through their last 11 games. The .636 winning...

Eric Haase downs the Mets in Detroit
Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports The Tigers’ DH drives in five as the Mets drop the first game of the doubleheader The Mets' offense did well to overcome an early 3-0 deficit, but early and late heroics from Tigers’ DH Eric Haase sealed a 6-5 victory for the Tigers on the front end of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Mets in Detroit.
