The New York Mets evened up their three-game series with the Colorado Rockies with a 5-3 victory on Saturday night. With the game knotted at three, the Mets pushed the go-ahead run across in the sixth and added an insurance run in the seventh to lock up the win.
Steven Matz tied a career high by tossing 120 pitches on the evening. Even after throwing 101 through five, he was left out there to navigate one more inning. With two runners on and two outs, Matz struck out Charlie Blackmon on the final pitch of his outing for his season-high 10th strikeout of the year.
