Perhaps the Rockies should order takeout, because their home cooking isn’t very good.
The Mets clobbered the Rockies, 8-1, Saturday night at Coors Field in front of 38,279 fans, hitting three leadoff homers off Colorado right-hander German Marquez. New York’s win streak over Colorado grew to seven games.
But at the heart of the loss was the Rockies’ continued inability to produce a clutch hit, even in their home ballpark. The Rockies had 10 hits but were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Failure in the clutch has been a recurring theme and contributed mightily to Colorado’s 12-52 record, which ties the 1932 Red Sox for the worst record through 64 games in baseball’s Modern Era (since 1901).
