The Mets came into this game in a precarious situation. They had to win the game to win the series against the Rockies. They had not won a series since they played the Dodgers in mid-April, splitting or outright losing every series since, to mostly below-average competition. They’ve had injury issues left and right, and underwhelming performance from all areas of their team. They were looking to Joey Lucchesi to make a good start coming off three short days of rest. It was not a recipe for success, but there was still hope. The Rockies weren’t setting the world on fire, and their starter, Ryan Feltner, has been good for the Rockies this season but didn’t have a track record of success.
Mets unable to overcome Rockies in yet another loss
