Part 3/6:
Starling Marte led off for the Mets, facing the hard-throwing Agnos. The Rockies and Mets had both loaded the bases with no outs in earlier innings, only to walk away without scoring. The pressure was palpable. Marte fell victim to a nasty sweeper from Agnos, striking out and leaving the door open for the Mets’ heavy hitters.
The Hit Parade: Soto and Alonso Step Up
Juan Soto, who had been on base three times already in the game, kept the momentum alive for the Mets. He swiftly sent a base hit into left-center field, registering his third hit of the night and bringing Pete Alonso to the plate. Alonso, who had also made significant contributions with a two-run double earlier in the game, was poised to add to his team's efforts.
