dailyloe.com – The Colorado Rockies are set to continue their series against the New York Mets with a Sunday doubleheader, following a rain delay. The Rockies secured a narrow victory on Friday night, winning 4-3 against the Mets.
This win was significant for the Rockies, providing relief after a tough series-deciding loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday. The Rockies have often found themselves in competitive matches this season but have frequently lost close games.
The victory against the Mets interrupted New York’s attempt to build momentum after they had recently ended a 12-game losing streak with two wins against the Minnesota Twins. The Rockies’ win marked their fourth road victory of the season, indicating a potential turning point.
This season, the Rockies have only achieved series wins against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros after winning the series opener. Friday’s win positions them favorably to continue this trend.
For the doubleheader, the Rockies will start Jose Quintana, who has struggled this season with an 0-2 record and a 6.23 ERA over three starts. Quintana’s last outing saw him give up six runs and two home runs in a 12-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Quintana has faced challenges, with more walks (nine) than strikeouts (four) this season. In his previous game against the Houston Astros, he lasted only 3.2 innings, allowing three runs on three hits.
The Mets will counter with Nolan McLean, who holds a 1-1 record and a 2.67 ERA in five starts. McLean has been effective this season, consistently pitching deep into games.
The matchup between Quintana and McLean promises to be crucial for both teams as they seek to gain momentum in the ongoing season.
