Overview

  • Colorado completed a three-game sweep in Queens on Sunday, taking Game 1 3-1 and the nightcap 3-0 as New York scored once in 18 innings and fell to 9-19.
  • In the opener, ex-Met José Quintana held the Mets to one run over 5 1/3, and a sixth-inning crack the third time through the order plus a Mark Vientos throwing error put Colorado ahead.
  • In Game 2, Kodai Senga exited after 2 2/3 innings with three earned runs and three walks, capped by Hunter Goodman’s two-run homer, while Chase Dollander logged seven shutout frames with seven strikeouts.
  • New York went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the nightcap and stranded seven, and Carl Edwards Jr. provided 3 1/3 scoreless innings in his Mets debut to keep it close.
  • The sweep extends concerns about a team that slid late in 2025 and now struggles to hit and to get length from starters, with an off day Monday before hosting the Nationals.
