Rockies Sweep Mets, Building Momentum

0:00It's April 26. You're listening to MLB News Today, AI-powered baseball coverage. I'm Corey with the story. The Colorado Rockies are turning heads with the clean sweep of the New York Mets, capping it off with a double-header shutout at City Field. They took the opener 3-1 and blanked the Mets 3-0 in game 2, marking their first series win over the Mets since 2018. This is the Rockies third series victory against teams that finish 500 or better last season. Winning wins over the Blue Jays and Astros. They also split a four-game set with the Dodgers just last weekend, and Sunday's double-header was a franchise first, allowing just one run total across. Both games. Fans are buzzing about the pitching gyms that fueled the wins. In game 1, Jose Quintana tossed 5 and a third strong innings, giving up one run. Game 2 belonged to Chase Dallander, who dominated for 7 innings with 7 strikeouts, keeping the Mets off base most of the day. Dallander got all the support he needed early, as Tyler Freeman scored on a Troy Johnson

1:03single. In the second Johnson drove in four runs over the guts. Series in Hunter Goodman crushed a two-run homer in the third. Mets starter, Cody Senga, couldn't last past two-and-two-thirds innings. The Rockies now sit at 13 wins and 16 losses, a far cry from last year when their 13th victory didn't come until June 12, amid a 13 and 55 start. They're building momentum on the road, and it feels like the purple squad is finally finding its groove.
