(AP Photo/Seth Wenig) NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor once again homered in a victory and Clay Holmes threw a career-high seven innings Sunday as the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 5-3 win. Pete Alonso hit a three-run shot and Juan Soto also went deep as the Mets won for the seventh time in eight games to finish a 7-2 homestand. They regained sole possession of first place in the NL East, moving a game ahead of Philadelphia. Advertisement The Rockies lost their eighth straight and fell to 9-50, the worst record through 59 games of any major league team in the modern era (since 1901). They have been swept 10 times in 20 series — tied for the most sweeps through 20 series with the 1962 Mets, the 1970 Milwaukee Brewers and the 1994 Oakland Athletics. Alonso homered in the fourth before Lindor snapped a 3-all tie an inning later. The Mets have won the last 26 games in which Lindor has homered, the second-longest streak in big league history behind the 29-game run authored by Carl Furillo and the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1951-53. Soto connected in the eighth to make it 5-3. Holmes (5-3) gave up three hits — including Orlando Arcia's first-inning solo homer and Tyler Freeman's two-run shot in the fifth. He struck out three and walked none. Advertisement The right-hander, who entered this season with 300 consecutive relief appearances dating to 2019, has lasted at least six innings in six of his last eight starts. Reed Garrett and Edwin Díaz tossed a scoreless inning apiece, with Díaz earning his 13th save. Rockies rookie Carson Palmquist (0-3) gave up four runs in 4 2/3 innings but struck out eight — two more than he'd fanned in his first three starts combined. Key moment Lindor's homer came just after Freeman's tying shot in the fifth. Key stat The Rockies haven't held a lead at the end of consecutive innings since they led for the final four innings of their most recent win, a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees on May 23. Advertisement Up next Rockies RHP Germán Márquez (1-7, 7.13 ERA) starts Monday in Miami against RHP Max Meyer (3-4, 4.53). Mets RHP Paul Blackburn is scheduled to make his season debut Monday night at Dodger Stadium in the opener of a four-game series. Blackburn has been rehabbing from right knee inflammation. ___ AP MLB:

Juan Soto snaps 17-game home run drought in Mets' win
NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto snapped a 17-game home run drought with a 404-foot homer to left-centerfield in the fourth inning of the New York Mets' 8-2 win Saturday over the Colorado Rockies. Soto's first homer since May 9 was clocked at 109.5 mph off the bat but hit into a 14 mph wind blowing out to right field. 'He put a really good swing on it,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'For him to hit it out of the ballpark like that on a day that the conditions are not in his favor, that's pretty impressive.' Asked if he was confident the ball would leave the yard, Soto grinned. 'I mean, 110 (mph), you've got to be,' Soto said. 'I knew it was gone.' The home run drought was the fourth-longest of the outfielder's eight-year career. Soto, who signed a record $765 million, 15-year deal in December, entered Saturday hitting just .143 with two extra-base hits in his previous 17 games. But the reception at Citi Field has remained mostly warm for Soto, who raised his hands to the cheering crowd following his home run trot. He was serenaded with chants of 'JUAN SO-TO' from fans in the right field seats in the top of the fifth, when he turned and raised his arms in acknowledgment. 'It's a great feeling when you feel the support like that,' Soto said. Soto homered one pitch after Brandon Nimmo hit a two-run shot to right. 'Francisco (Lindor) and I were doing our picture down there,' Nimmo said, referring to the Mets' post-home run tradition of posing in the dugout. 'Heard the sound of the bat and the crowd going wild. We looked out and were able to see him go the other way. That's when he's the best. 'I think weather's starting to heat up, we're flipping the script into June, this field will start to play a little more fair. I think it's just a sign of good things to come. Great to go back-to-back with him.' ___ AP MLB:

Juan Soto ends home run drought and Mets hand Rockies another series loss with 8-2 win
NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto hit his first homer in more than three weeks and the New York Mets sent the Colorado Rockies to another series loss with an 8-2 win on Saturday. The Rockies, whose 9-49 record is the worst in the modern era through 58 games, are the first team in history to open a season with 19 straight series losses. Colorado has lost a major league-record 22 straight series dating back to last September. Brett Baty had a bases-clearing triple off Antonio Senzatela (1-10) in a four-run first inning, which Tyrone Taylor capped with a single. Brandon Nimmo and Soto homered on consecutive pitches in the fourth. Soto was serenaded with chants of 'JUAN SO-TO' from fans in the right field seats in the top of the fifth, when he turned and raised his arms in acknowledgment. Jeff McNeil homered in the eighth. Kodai Senga (6-3) allowed two runs on two hits over 6 2/3 innings. He retired a career-high 17 straight batters between Ezequiel Tovar's one-out homer in the first and Tovar's walk leading off the seventh. Thairo Estrada chased Senga with an RBI single. Senzatela, the first pitcher to reach 10 losses this season, allowed seven runs in four innings. Key moment Soto's 404-foot blast was his first homer since May 9. The $765 million outfielder entered Saturday hitting just .143 with two extra-base hits in his previous 17 games. Key stat The Rockies haven't led at the completion of an inning since the first inning last Sunday, when they were ahead of the New York Yankees 2-1. Up next The series ends Sunday with Mets RHP Clay Holmes (5-3, 2.98 ERA) opposing Rockies LHP Carson Palmquist (0-3, 8.78 ERA). ___ AP MLB:
