DENVER — Marcus Stroman pitched eight innings of one-run ball and made a dazzling defensive play, catcher James McCann threw out Trevor Story as he attempted to steal second for the final out and the Mets beat the Colorado Rockies, 2-1, on Sunday.
J.D. Davis delivered an R.B.I. single and Jeff McNeil had an R.B.I. groundout for the Mets (7-4), who have won five of their last six games, including two of three at Coors Field this weekend.
Stroman (3-0) allowed three hits and struck out five. He also helped himself with a spectacular backhand play to start the eighth.
