The Mets lost the final game of the series, and the season, against the Rockies 6-4. Steven Matz started for the Mets and didn’t do much to help their cause, giving up five runs in the first two innings. All of those five runs were a result of one player, Nolan Arenado. In the first inning, Arenado hit a three-run home run following a double and a hit by pitch. In the second inning, with men on second and third base again, Arenado doubled to drive in two more runs.

Before, Arenado went ballistic on Matz, the Mets actually had a lead after their first time up.
