If one needed reminding of the game-changing power that Ronny Mauricio holds, they got it on Saturday night in Colorado. The young infielder opened the scoring in the Mets’ 8-1 win over the Rockies in the top of the third inning when he demolished German Marquez’s hanging knuckle-curveball 456 feet into the second deck

Ronny Mauricio had the best vantage point from which to admire the 456-foot home run that leapt off his bat and landed in the third deck during the Mets' 8-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

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.
