The Colorado Rockies defeated the New York Mets 3-1, aided by a robot umpire's call that changed a bases-loaded walk to a strike. This marks the Rockies' third series win of the season, while the Mets suffer their 14th loss in 16 games.
NEW YORK (AP) — Colorado avoided falling behind when the robot umpire changed Brett Baty's bases-loaded walk to an inning-ending called third strike in the first, and Jose Quintana got his first win of the season as the Rockies sent the New York Mets to their 14th loss in 16 games, 3-1 in a doubleheader opener Sunday. Troy Johnson hit an RBI single in the fourth and broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring, double-play grounder in the sixth. Jake McCarthy added an RBI single in the seventh for Colorado (12-16), which clinched its third series win this year. Last season, the Rockies (43-119) didn't win their third series until July 18-20. Players won four of seven challenges to the robot umpire on ball-strike calls by plate umpire Ryan Blakney.

Quintana (1-2) allowed two hits in a season-high 5 1/3 innings. Jaden Hill escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth by retiring Luis Robert Jr. on a foul pop and striking out Mark Vientos, and Victor Vodnik got three straight outs for his fourth save, finishing a four-hitter. Nolan McLean (1-2) gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in five innings for the Mets (9-18). With Francisco Lindor on the injured list, Bichette made his first start at shortstop this year. tied the score in the fifth with his second homer of the season, matching his 2025 total, a drive to left into a 15 mph wind. Francisco Alvarez had been 0 for 28 in his big league career as a pinch hitter before his eighth-inning single.
