Ronny Mauricio's long home run powers Mets past Rockies 8-1
Ronny Maurico hit his first home run of the season, a 456-foot shot into the second deck, Francisco Lindor had three hits and two stolen bases, and the New York Mets scored eight runs as they rolled past the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night. Jeff McNeil and Jared Young also homered, and Brandon Nimmo and Luis Torrens each drove in two runs in New York's 8-1 win -- a matchup of teams with the National League's best and worst records. The Mets, a season-high 17 games over .500 at 41-24, improved to 5-0 against the Rockies this season. The loss dropped Colorado to 12-52, matching the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the worst 64-game start to an MLB season since 1901. Clay Holmes (7-3) gave up nine hits in six innings, but just one earned run. He had six strikeouts and no walks. Maurico gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the third with his homer, the longest hit by New York this season. New York Mets' Ronny Mauricio gestures as he crosses home plate after hitting a solo home run off Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Germán Márquez in the third inning of a baseball game Saturday, June 7, 2025, in Denver. David Zalubowski / AP Ryan McMahon hit a solo home run in the fourth inning for Colorado's lone run. It snapped a 22-game homer drought for McMahon, who has 131 with the Rockies to pass Matt Holliday for 11th on the franchise's career list. Germán Márquez (2-8) allowed eight hits and four earned runs in five innings for Colorado, which has scored just 10 runs in its five losses to New York this season. Key moment Young's homer broke a 1-1 tie and kickstarted a two-run fifth for the Mets, who led the rest of the way. Key stat The Rockies' measly offensive output wasn't due to a lack of opportunities. Colorado went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Up next Rookie RHP Chase Dollander (2-5, 6.26 ERA) will take the mound for Colorado against RHP Tylor Megill (4-4, 3.77) and the Mets on Sunday.

What we learned in Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final and how it affects Game 3
What we learned in Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final and how it affects Game 3 Show Caption Hide Caption NHL rescue dogs, all available for adoption, compete in the 2025 Stanley Pup 32 adorable rescue puppies representing each NHL team will compete in the 2025 Stanley Pup, airing June 6 on TruTV and Sportsnet! The 2025 Stanley Cup Final is changing venues this week with a 1-1 tie in the best-of-seven series. That's a big difference from last year's series between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers when the Panthers won the first three games and the Oilers won the next three before Florida clinched the championship with a Game 7 victory. Last year had no overtime games but this year, both games have gone past regulation. The Oilers won Game 1 at home on a Leon Draisaitl overtime goal. But the Panthers took away Edmonton's home-ice advantage by winning Game 2 on a Brad Marchand goal in the second overtime. Here are some trends from the first two games and how they might affect the series heading into Game 3: Sam Bennett will earn a big contract The Panthers' pending unrestricted free agent entered the final with a league-best 10 goals. He has added to that with three goals in two games. Bennett has scored 12 playoff goals on the road, setting an NHL record. Toronto's Mitch Marner is the top UFA, but Bennett's playoff prowess will have suitors lined up. He's highly effective around the net and has a habit of bumping goalies. His Game 1 goal as he fell into Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner survived a coach's challenge, but he was called for goaltender interference on a similar play in Game 2. Is he being watched more closely by on-ice officials? "I was pushed and then I think the goalie kicked out my heel, which made me fall," he said. "I didn't agree with that (call), but I'll move on." Will Bill Zito finally win general manager of the year? He's a finalist for the fourth consecutive season but has yet to win. He changed up the Panthers' depth players last summer after winning the Stanley Cup, but his biggest moves were before the trade deadline. He added defenseman Seth Jones, who played more than 30 minutes in each of the first two games of the final and had a goal and an assist in Game 2. Marchand, the former Boston Bruins star, has been critical to the Panthers' success. He scored on two breakaways in Game 2, including the winner. "I think our whole bench stood up when he had that breakaway," Bennett said. "It was just a huge play at a huge time. He's been incredible for us this whole playoffs, scoring massive goals at massive times." The voting is already done for the GM award, so we'll see if it's finally his turn. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl working their magic Draisaitl has three goals in the first two games and McDavid has five assists. They connected on the Game 1 overtime winner and the Game 2 setup was even more impressive. McDavid stickhandled past Selke Trophy winner Aleksander Barkov and No. 1 defenseman Aaron Ekblad before feeding Draisaitl. The Panthers will continue to need to figure out how to limit those two, especially when coach Kris Knoblauch puts them on the same line later in games. Florida has the last line change in Games 3 and 4 and can get the matchup it wants. Oilers need to play better in the second period The Oilers have been outscored 3-1 in the second period and outshot 31-16. Florida turned around its Game 2 fortunes with its performance in the second period, when there's a longer distance to get to the bench for a line change. "Our passes weren't sharp. We gave away a lot of pucks," Knoblauch said. "If you can't make that first pass, you're stuck in the defensive zone. … If you just get it out to the neutral zone, you can't change." The OIlers, however, have outscored the Panthers 2-0 in the third period, tying both games and forcing overtime. Goalies are playing better than their numbers Skinner and the Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky each have given up eight goals, albeit in elongated games. Though some goals against haven't been great, such as Evander Kane's in Game 2, Bobrovsky made a big pad save on Draisaitl before Corey Perry tied the game. Skinner stopped several breakaways before Marchand's winner. "There were some good saves made at both ends, high-end saves," Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. "There's some world-class shooters here."
