Mets Sweep Rockies with Six Home Runs, Expand NL East Lead

The New York Mets continued their dominant 2025 season with a strong 13-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies, completing a clean 6-0 sweep of the season series and extending their lead in the National League East. Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each hit two home runs, with Alonso surpassing David Wright for second place on the Mets' all-time home run list, and the team collectively hit six home runs in the game. Mets starter Tylor Megill delivered a solid pitching performance, while Colorado's Chase Dollander struggled, allowing five runs over three innings. The Mets' offensive surge featured multi-hit games from Juan Soto, Francisco Alvarez, and Ronny Mauricio, with Soto reaching base six times for the first time in his career. Meanwhile, the Mets' dominance in the division is underscored by the struggles of the Atlanta Braves, who have fallen well behind with a record of 27-37 and are now only contending for a Wild Card spot. The Phillies also suffered a sweep by the Pittsburgh Pirates, further solidifying the Mets' comfortable lead in the NL East.
