Trouble stalks the Rockies on the road and usually finds them.
Case in point: In the eighth inning, with Jurickson Profar on third base and pinch-runner Brenton Doyle on first, Ryan McMahon, mired in a deep slump, ripped a line drive off reliever David Robertson. McMahon was credited with a hit, but instead of tying the game, McMahon’s liner hit Doyle for the final out of the inning.
The final: Mets 1, Rockies 0 on Friday night at Citi Field. The game’s only run came on Brandon Nimmo’s home run in the fourth.
It was a painful end to the Rockies’ modest four-game winning streak, made worse because they wasted an excellent start by Antonio Senzatela.
