Rockies Edge Mets 4-3 in Thrilling April 24, 2026 Matchup
The Colorado Rockies secured a 4-3 victory over the Fresh York Mets on April 24, 2026, at Citi Field in a tightly contested National League showdown. The win improved the Rockies’ standing in the NL West while the Mets dropped to 12-10 on the season.
Starting pitcher Freddy Peralta delivered a strong performance for New York, working 5.2 innings and allowing just two runs while striking out eight batters—a season high for the right-hander. Despite his effective outing, the Mets offense struggled with consistency, grounding into four double plays (including three ground-into-double-plays and one line-out) that stalled multiple scoring opportunities.
Colorado capitalized on key moments, with timely hitting and disciplined base running proving decisive. The Rockies bullpen held firm after the starter’s exit, preserving the narrow lead through the final innings.
The loss marked the Mets’ second consecutive defeat in the early-season series, highlighting ongoing challenges with clutch hitting despite generating 11 total hits in the game. New York will look to adjust as they continue their homestand, while Colorado aims to build momentum from the road victory.
