Tough Loss for the Rockies Against the Mets 
What a tough game for our Colorado Rockies as they fell to the New York Mets with a final score of 9-1. The game started off on the wrong foot and unfortunately, we couldn't catch a break to bounce back.Mets' Early Onslaught 
Right from the top of the 1st inning, the Mets came out swinging. Francisco Lindor doubled to center and was quickly brought home by Jose Iglesias' double. The highlights of the inning were Pete Alonso's towering home run that brought in two runs, putting the Mets up 4-0 by the middle of the 1st inning. Our pitcher struggled to find his rhythm, and it showed with those back-to-back hits and home runs.Rockies' Response 
We had some flashes of hope. In the bottom of the 1st, Brendan Rodgers singled to right, but we couldn't capitalize as Kris Bryant struck out swinging. The same story repeated itself across several innings as the Mets' pitchers kept our hitters in check. Rodgers seemed to be the lone bright spot, reaching base multiple times, including a walk in the 5th inning that eventually led to our only run – a sacrifice fly from Brenton Doyle which brought Aaron Schunk home.Struggles Continue 
By the 5th inning, the Mets extended their lead with another home run by Mark Vientos which drove in two more runs. Our bullpen did manage some bright spots, especially when Peter Lambert came in relief, executing a double play in the 4th inning. Yet, we just couldn’t muster any momentum offensively to match the Mets' persistent scoring.A Glimmer of Hope 
In the 8th inning, Dinelson Lamet pitched well enough, but we got into a jam with Luis Torrens being hit by a pitch, putting runners at the corners. Sadly, the promising start to the inning fizzled out with a double play ending our chances.Final Inning and Reflections 
The bottom of the 9th showed a glimmer of fight with Ezequiel Tovar and Rodgers both reaching base. Yet, Doyle struck out looking, ending our hopes. It's a tough pill to swallow, but time to reflect and bounce back stronger. Our team has the resilience and talent to put this behind and look forward to the next game. Keep the faith, Rockies fans! We're in this together!
