Mets finally squeeze one out against Rockies

Flushing, NY 11368

The weekend did not go as expected for the New York Mets as they battled the Colorado Rockies in a four game home series, that is, until last night when they finally got over the hump and defeated the Rockies 6-4.

“You never like to be staring at the barrel of a possible four-game sweep at home, under any circumstances,” Neil Walker said. “Our pitchers have been throwing the ball pretty well, and obviously we haven’t been great in certain situations offensively. We know that if we keep giving ourselves opportunities, we’re going to come through.”

The Mets will begin a series tonight at 6:10 against their in-state rival New York Yankees.  Two games will be played here then the next two at Yankee Stadium.  Tickets are still available so be sure to grab yours and get out and cheer on your New York Mets!
