Mets get homers from Alonso, Lindor and Soto to finish 3-game sweep with 5-3 win over Rockies
Francisco Lindor once again homered in a victory and Clay Holmes threw a career-high seven innings as the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 5-3 win. Pete Alonso hit a three-run shot and Juan Soto also went deep as the Mets won for the seventh time in eight games to regain sole possession of first place in the NL East. The Rockies lost their eighth straight and fell to 9-50, the worst record through 59 games of any major league team in the modern era. Lindor snapped a 3-all tie with a solo shot in the fifth. The Mets have won the last 26 games in which Lindor has homered, the second-longest streak in big league history.
