Rookie Ronny Mauricio belts long homer as Mets rip lowly Rockies
NY Post
DENVER — Ronny Mauricio is prone to chasing pitches and striking out, but the flip side is his explosive power.
The Mets were reminded Saturday why the 24-year-old rookie is so appealing, on another night when the team let opportunities escape with runners in scoring position.
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.
The Mets will go for the season-series sweep Sunday.
“I feel like I hit it right on the barrel,” Mauricio said of his monster shot.
The Mets interest in Kyle Tucker is serious enough to have warranted a meeting.
