DENVER (AP) — Juan Soto led off with a home run, Marcus Semien homered and finished with four hits, and the surging New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 on Wednesday night after the start time was pushed back six hours due to a snowstorm.
Carson Benge continued his hot stretch with two hits for New York. He is 4 of 9 with a home run and four RBIs in his last three games.
The Mets are 4-1 to start their nine-game road trip after losing 17 of 20.
TJ Rumfield and Jake McCarthy homered for Colorado, and Mickey Moniak extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a single in the ninth inning. The Rockies have lost six straight and seven of their last eight following a three-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field from April 24-26.
A storm that dropped 5.8 inches of snow in Denver postponed Tuesday’s game to Thursday and pushed Wednesday’s start to 7:20 p.m. local time. It was 41 degrees at first pitch and fell to the mid-30s in the ninth.
Soto homered on Michael Lorenzen's third pitch of the night and the Mets added three more in the fourth. They chased Lorenzen (2-4) in a four-run sixth.
The Rockies managed just four singles in five innings against Freddy Peralta (2-3) but jumped on in the sixth.
