Mauricio blasted his first major league homer since 2023 — a 456-foot rocket in the third inning — and was on base as part of another scoring rally in helping the Mets beat the Rockies 8-1 at Coors Field. The Mets finished 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position, but hit three homers in beating the hapless Rockies for a fifth straight time.

Infielder Ronny Mauricio could be worth the wait for the New York Mets, who will aim for a sweep of their three-game series against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon in Denver.
