The Mets won the first game of today’s doubleheader against the Rockies 5-1 on the back of some early offense against Germán Márquez, a very strong bounce back outing by Carlos Carrasco, and great work from the Mets bullpen. The Mets got to work against the struggling Márquez right away this afternoon. Brandon Nimmo led off the first inning with a laser that clanked off first baseman C.J. Cron’s glove for an infield hit. Starling Marte followed with a long two-run homer on the first pitch in his first at-bat back from the bereavement list, pointing to the sky and giving the Mets an immediate 2-0 lead.
