The New York Mets climbed to a 48-45 record with a narrow 7-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies, powered by a five-home-run performance including two each from Harrison Bader and Jose Iglesias. Despite a shaky bullpen and an intense ninth inning, Edwin Díaz secured the save. The Mets' resurgence, which has seen them win six of their last seven games, positions them in the third and final NL wild-card slot. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies broke an eight-game losing streak against the Cincinnati Reds with a 6-5 win led by Sam Hilliard's two homers and Kyle Freeland's season-high nine strikeouts. Hilliard, who has been impactful since his recent call-up, helped the Rockies improve in their struggling season.
