Mets vs. Rockies Recap: The offensive blackout continues

For the third time in four games, the Mets were shut out, dropping their fifth straight game, 2-0 against the Rockies. Despite mostly solid pitching, the Mets’ offensive jump simply can’t get going right now, despite last night’s late game theatrics.

Steven Matz, after having his start pushed back due to a stiff back, did not look worse for wear. Aside from a first inning home run to straightaway center field off the bat of Nolan Arenado, Matz more or less kept the Rockies in check.
