Mets Host Rockies as Colorado Seeks to End Four-Game Road Skid

The New York Mets, holding a strong 34-22 record and second place in the NL East, are set to host the struggling Colorado Rockies, who have a dismal 9-47 record and the worst 56-game start in modern MLB history. The Mets have been inconsistent offensively, hitting just .211 with runners in scoring position and leaving 409 runners on base, but continue to win games, hoping for a hot streak soon. The Rockies, on a five-game losing streak and with only a 3-25 road record, are looking to break their skid in this first meeting of the season between the two teams. Key players include Mets' Pete Alonso, leading with a .290 average and 11 home runs, and Rockies' Hunter Goodman, who has seven home runs and 31 RBIs. The matchup features starting pitchers David Peterson for the Mets and Kyle Freeland for the Rockies, both left-handers. Despite their offensive struggles, the Mets remain competitive, while the Rockies are trying to overcome their historically poor season performance.
