Mets get homers from Alonso, Lindor and Soto to finish 3-game sweep with 5-3 win over Rockies
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. 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. 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. 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.

Big night for Francisco Lindor, solid steps for Juan Soto in Mets' win
NEW YORK — And finally, after weeks of struggling with an average on the interstate, New York's superstar came through with a big game. Is it Juan Soto or Francisco Lindor we're talking about? For the Mets, it was both Friday night. In a 4-2 win over the Rockies, Lindor homered from both sides of the plate, and Soto delivered just his second multihit game in three weeks. It was a night of exhaling for the Mets' linchpins. Multi-homer game for @Lindor12BC 👏 — New York Mets (@Mets) May 31, 2025 Start with Soto, who has been the alpha and omega of every conversation about the Mets for weeks. A lukewarm start through the first six weeks had turned frigid over the last three: 7-for-59 with one extra-base hit in his last 16 games entering Friday. So David Stearns' pregame press conference was largely about Soto — what's looked different, when that could change, and what support from the organization looks like in the meantime. Advertisement 'I think he's probably trying to do a little bit too much right now,' Stearns said. 'And that is natural for a player who cares.' In the third, Soto came through with a two-out double to right-center, scoring Lindor from first. It was his second extra-base hit over the last three weeks. He also led off the sixth with a single. 'Anytime you come through for the team, it's always a good feeling,' Soto said. 'I know I've been struggling and I haven't been there for the team. I will be.' 'He's had good at-bats,' Lindor said. 'Today the ball fell for him.' While Soto's slump has sucked up all the oxygen around the Mets, Lindor was quietly going through it on the offensive end. He had been 8-for-55 in his last 14 games entering Friday night. A leadoff homer from the right side opened the scoring, and a solo shot from the left side in the eighth closed it. In between, he singled up the middle. Lindor talked about getting his body in the right alignment through some physical therapy. 'I'm healthy,' he said. '(I'm) making sure my body's moving correctly.' Manager Carlos Mendoza was especially happy to see Lindor drive the ball the opposite way from the left side for the eighth-inning homer. 'When you see him going to left-center from the left side, that's when he's clicking,' Mendoza said. '(He's) in position to make some really good swing decisions and hit the ball with authority.' Lindor's numbers from the right side have been uncharacteristically poor to start the year. Even after the homer Friday, he said he's 'still not there' from that side. The same could be said for the Mets offense through 57 games this season. Lindor and Pete Alonso carried the club through April. It's been a tougher slog in May, with Brett Baty just about the only Met exceeding expectations this month. Soto has been in the spotlight, but he entered Friday with a better OPS in May than Lindor, Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Mark Vientos — the other guys hitting first through fifth Friday. The Mets have shown they don't need all those bats to get hot to win. But the task gets a heck of a lot easier if a couple of them warm up. 'It's a matter of time,' Soto said of himself. The Mets hope that goes for the entire lineup. (Photo of Francisco Lindor: Al Bello / Getty Images)
