The Mets (41-24) own the best record in the National League  and will attempt to complete the sweep of the Rockies (12-52) on Sunday before returning home.

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.

Mauricio, a switch-hitter, started at third base and batted seventh. The Mets won’t know the severity of Vientos’ injury until they get his MRI results. On Tuesday night, Vientos flew to New York, where he was scheduled to do the test.
