Rockies Edge Mets in Doubleheader Opener

0:00On April 26, Colorado snagged a three-to-one win over the Metz in the opener of a Sunday double-header, dodging disaster thanks to the robot umpire. In the first inning with bases loaded, Brad Baity got called ball four on a full-count sinker, but the automated system flipped it to a third strike. Slamming the door on New York's threat, Jose Quintana earned his first win of the year, holding the Metz to just two hits over five in the third innings. Troy Johnson broke a one-to-one tie with a run-scoring double-play grounder in the sixth after his earlier RBI single, and Jake McCarthy tacked on another RBI hit in the seventh. That gave the Rockies their third series win this season, a big step up from last year's squad that didn't hit that mark until mid-July. Players nailed four out of seven challenges on plate-ump, Ryan Blackney's calls, including three flips in that wild-first inning alone. The Metz, now nine and eighteen, have dropped fourteen of their last sixteen, feeling the heat without Francisco Lindor on the injured list.

1:00Bo. But Shetz lit over to shortstoppers first start there. Quintana got solid relief from Jaden Hill, who escaped a bases loaded jam in the eighth, and Victor Vodnik slammed the door with his fourth save on a four-hitter. Metz starter Nolan McLean took the loss after two runs on five hits in five innings, while Tyrone Taylor's homer had briefly nodded things up. As the second game kicks off, Kodai Sanga takes the hill for New York on extra rest, facing a Rockies opener ahead of Chase Dallander could be another. Type one in this series.
