Mets edge Rockies 4-2 as Soto snaps slump and Lindor homers twice

Plagued by a league-worst .211 batting average with runners in scoring position, the Mets are shifting to a six-man rotation for a grueling 10-game stretch to counter shaky infield defense.

Overview

  • New York improved to 35-22 with its fifth win in six games following Friday’s 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
  • Francisco Lindor homered from both sides of the plate and made a leaping catch that quelled a bases-loaded threat.
  • Juan Soto ended an 0-for-17 skid with a 113-mph RBI double and added a leadoff single later in the game.
  • President David Stearns called out the Mets’ .211 average with runners in scoring position and uncharacteristic infield miscues as areas needing urgent improvement.
  • Facing 10 games in 10 days, New York plans to test a six-man starting rotation to manage pitcher workloads and address recent performance issues.
