You expect good teams to beat up on bad teams, but we all know how baseball is random and sometimes that just doesn’t happen. Thankfully, the Mets did not suffer such a fate this weekend, sweeping the lowly Rockies, continuing Edwin Diaz’s save streak, and overtaking first place from the Phillies.
Clay Holmes started for the Mets and, aside from a few fly balls that the wind took, looked quite good in his 13th start of the season. The Rockies got on the board in the top of the third when Orlando Arcia drove a ball to right-center that got into the wind to put Colorado up 1-0.
