Mets Rock Rockies, Back to .500
METS 7, ROCKIES 2
For the first time in years, the Mets were seen from the SNY cameras fooling around and smiling in the dugout during their 7-2 thrashing of the Colorado Rockies in Denver.
The Metropolitans got the party started in the second with five runs in the inning, which was capped by a two run homer by Carlos Delgado (11). Newcomer Trot Nixon then added his first homerun of the year, blasting a shot over the right field scoreboard in the third.
John Maine (7-5) went 6 and 2/3 innings giving up only two runs and striking out six. Carlos Beltran went 3-5; Damien Easley, playing for the second straight game as a reward for winning the rubber game against Anaheim, went 2 for 5 with two runs scored. Brian Schneider went 2 for 4 with a run scored.
The Mets are now 2-1 under new manager Jerry Manuel. The Mets have now won five of their last seven and are four and a half behind Philadelphia.
