“Anytime you feel like you haven’t been coming through for the team a lot lately … it’s indescribable. It’s a really good feeling.” — Ryan McMahon after going deep for the second straight night for the Rockies Story from PSaundersDP
The Mets had taken a 7-6 lead in the seventh and the shouts of “Let’s Go Mets!” took over the LoDo ballpark. But in the bottom of the frame, the Rockies third baseman, who’s been mired in a deep slump for much of the season, hit a two-run homer deep into the second deck in right field off right-hander Jeff Brigham for the go-ahead run in Colorado’s 10-7 victory.
Manager Bud Black was happy, not with McMahon’s big at-bat, but with the approach McMahon had displayed in recent games. Colorado got two bonus runs in the eighth on Jurickson Profar’s RBI triple to score Ezequiel Tovar, followed by Elias Diaz’s single to chase home Profar. Profar extended his on-base streak to 34 games, the longest active streak in the majors.
Lefty Brent Suter, who had been close to perfect over his last 15 appearances , was pounded for four runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning, the big blow an RBI double by Brett Batty. Suter was lifted for Jake Bird, but Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez hit a three-run, 435-foot homer to left, tying the game at 6-6.
