The punchless Rockies had no answers to the Colorado Kid and the “Polar Bear.”
Behind lefty David Peterson, a 2014 Regis Jesuit graduate, and slugging first baseman Pete Alonso, the Mets drubbed the Rockies 9-1 on a cool, cloudy afternoon at Coors Field. New York won the three-game series, halting a mini-streak by the Rockies, who had won three consecutive series at home.
Peterson, making his first start at Coors, limited the Rockies to one run on four hits over five innings. He struck out five and walked three. In three career games vs. Colorado, he’s 2-1 with a 2.
