Dominant Opening by Our Mets
What a fantastic game for the New York Mets!
The boys played with heart and determination, clinching a solid win against the Colorado Rockies with a final score of 13-5. Let’s delve into the action-packed game we witnessed! Things started quietly in the top of the first inning as both teams couldn't get on board, with Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo unable to set the pace. But hold your horses, as the momentum swung in the top of the second inning. Jeff McNeil cracked a spectacular homer to right-center, going 411 feet to put us on the board.
Ronny Mauricio and Tyler Taylor quickly followed with contributions that gave Francisco Alvarez the chance to drive in Mauricio and extend the scoreline to 2-0.Unyielding Offense Continues
The third inning was all about the power hitters.
Juan Soto hit a single and took advantage of a pitcher error before Pete Alonso unleashed a monstrous 416-foot home run to bring Soto home. Later, Taylor and Alvarez contributed to amplify the lead to 5-0 by the end of the inning. 
Our Met’s incredible offensive continued its relentless pace in the fourth and fifth innings as McNeil blasted another homer, and the reliable Mauricio caused more lineup disruption with his spirited steals and runs, bringing the tally to 8-0. The Rockies managed to put up a couple of hits and exploit minor lapses in defense to pull a couple of runs, but our lead remained unassailable.

By the time the 7th inning was around, it was a show of raw power from Brett Baty with a 424-foot homer!
In the eighth, Alonso clinched his second home run of the game, ensuring our lead was bolstered to a comfortable 12-3, as the Rockies struggled to respond effectively. The game's concluding act was written in the ninth inning with a towering 450-foot home run from Alvarez and valuable contributions from Nimmo and Soto to end the game on a high note with a 13-5 victory. Celebrating this triumph with our Mets community feels amazing, and now we look forward to keeping up the momentum in the upcoming games. Let's go Mets!
