May 2nd 2014 -- Rockies 10, Mets 3

Friday  night in Denver, for the second night in a row the Rockies made quick work of a Met starter, this time Zach Wheeler as the Mets lose big 10-3.  The Mets drew first blood in the top of the first when Juan Legares scored on a wild pitch to make it 1-0. The inning might have been bigger, but Daniel Murphy had his consecutive stolen base streak snapped when he was gunned down trying to steal third.  After that it was mostly all Colorado as they scored 4 times in the bottom of the first, twice in the bottom of the 2nd and 1 more in the 4th to rough up Wheeler who had his shortest outing of the year.  Trailing 7-1 in the top of the 6th Curtis Granderson got to Jorge De La Rose for a two run homer (2) to make it 7-3.  The Rockies made it a laugher as they got to Carlos Torres for 3 runs in his 2 innings of work to close the scoring.  Charlie Blackman had 3 hits including his 6th homer and drove in 2, Troy Tulowitzki went 3 for 4 with 3 rbi,  Justin Morneau and Wilin Rosario each drove in 2 apiece.  Wheeler lasted just 4 innings, allowing 7 hits, 7 runs, 6 earned walking 2 and striking out 1. He takes the loss falling to 1-3. De La Rosa gets the win improving to 3-3.  The Mets managed 9 hits in the loss with 2 hits piece by Granderson, David Wright and the red hot Legares.  The Mets start out the road trip 0-2 and now stand at 15-13 on the year and 7-5 on the road. Saturday night it’s game 3 of the series. Jenrry Mejia (3-0  3.49) goes for the Mets, Franklin Morales (3-1 4.40) goes for the Rockies.

Likely no effect on final score, and God bless Murph for his stolen base streak, but I would not have run there, Murph. Against this Rockie team, they need big innings.
