Baseball Reference: Trading deadline acquisition Yoenis Cespedes continues to make his presence felt in the Mets line-up as he homers three times, including a grand slam, and collects 7 RBIs in a 14 - 9 win over the Rockies. He also has two other hits and drives a ball to the warning track in the 9th inning. Travis d'Arnaud and Michael Conforto also homer for New York.

ESPN.com: Yoenis Cespedes hits 3 home runs in Mets' 14-9 win over Rockies. "Bartolo Colon was hit by a pitch on his right hand in the second when he squared to bunt. He was checked by team trainers and remained in the game but went just 3 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs and nine hits, including all three of Colorado's home runs."

Nationals fall 10-3 to the Brewers, putting them 5 games behind the 1st place Mets.
