Rockies Blank Mets 3-0 in Second Game of Doubleheader

On Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Colorado Rockies secured a 3-0 victory over the Novel York Mets in the second game of a doubleheader at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens, New York. The shutout marked the Rockies’ third series win of the season and highlighted a dominant pitching performance that held the Mets scoreless across all nine innings.

Game Summary and Key Plays

The Rockies broke through early, striking for three runs in the top of the third inning to build an insurmountable lead. Hunter Goodman delivered the decisive blow with a two-run home run off Mets starter Kodai Senga, clearing the bases after an earlier single by Tyler Johnson plated the first run of the inning. Goodman’s blast, his seventh of the season, extended the Rockies’ lead to 3-0 and proved to be all the runs Colorado would necessitate.

New York threatened in the middle innings but failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Mets stranded runners in scoring position multiple times, including a bases-loaded situation in the third inning with two outs that ended when Rockies reliever Connor Brogdon induced a groundout to shortstop. Colorado’s pitching staff, led by Senga’s early exit after just 2⅔ innings, combined to retire the final 18 batters they faced in a row.

Edouard Julien contributed offensively for the Rockies with a run scored and a walk, although Juan Soto drew two free passes for New York but was unable to produce a hit beyond his first-inning single. Carson Benge recorded two hits for the Mets, but neither came with runners in scoring position.

Pitching Dominance Secures Shutout

Rockies reliever Justin Wrobleski earned the win after entering the game in the fourth inning with the bases empty and Colorado leading 3-0. Wrobleski worked 4⅓ scoreless innings, allowing just two hits while striking out five and walking two. His outing was followed by a trio of relievers — Sean Halvorsen, Brooke Raley and Zach Agnos — who combined to retire the final nine Mets batters in order, preserving the shutout.

Kodai Senga took the loss for New York, lasting only 2⅔ innings and surrendering three runs on four hits while walking three and striking out three. The Mets used five pitchers in total, with Connor Brogdon, Luis Weaver, Brooke Raley, and Daniel Williams each seeing action, but none could stop the Rockies’ early offensive surge.

Series Implications and Team Context

The victory completed a series sweep for the Rockies, who had won the first game of the doubleheader 3-1 earlier in the day behind a strong start from veteran left-hander Jose Quintana. With the doubleheader sweep, Colorado improved its season record and secured its third series win of 2026, a significant improvement over last year when the club did not win its third series until mid-July.

For the Mets, the loss extended their struggles to 14 defeats in their last 16 games, during which they have been outscored 84-39. The team continues to search for consistency as it navigates a challenging stretch of the season.
