NEW YORK — Jose Buttó continued to thrive out of the bullpen Saturday, throwing 2 2/3 innings of solid relief and earning the win as the New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 7-3 to tie a season-high by moving four games over .500.
Francisco Lindor provided insurance with a three-run homer in the eighth as the Mets (49-45) climbed four games over .500 for the first time since they were 12-8 on April 20.
Buttó (4-3) posted a 3.08 ERA in his first seven starts this season but still has options and was sent to Triple-A Syracuse May 15.
