In the final game of May, the Mets decisively defeated the Rockies, overcoming an early 1-0 deficit with a pivotal three-run triple by Brett Baty. The Mets continued to extend their lead with back-to-back homers from Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto, along with a late contribution from Jeff McNeil. Kodai Senga's strong performance kept the Rockies at bay, leading to a game with little resistance from Colorado, which prompted various reflections from the author regarding team dynamics and personal experiences during the game.
The game was never particularly in doubt after the first inning, when a 1-0 Colorado lead popped like a soap bubble thanks to a three-run triple off the top of the wall struck by Brett Baty.
With the Rockies mustering little resistance for most of the game, it was the kind of day that lent itself to miscellaneous reflections.
