MLB News: Michael Toglia (3 HRs), Rockies tee off on Mets

Michael Toglia hit three homers Sunday afternoon for the visiting Colorado Rockies, who avoided being swept in a three-game series by beating the New York Mets 8-5 in the first-half finale for both teams.

Ezequiel Tovar had two homers and Brenton Doyle hit the tiebreaking homer leading off the sixth for the Rockies, who won for the second time in eight games to improve to 6-8 this month.

Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer for the Mets, who had their five-game winning streak snapped.

Toglia hit solo shots in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings. It was the first career multi-homer game for Toglia, who has seven round-trippers this month.

Tovar opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the first off Jose Quintana (4-6) before he added another two-run shot in the seventh to cap his third two-homer game of the season. He also went deep twice against the Oakland Athletics on May 21 and against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 8.

Tovar finished a triple shy of the cycle.

The six homers were a season-high for the Rockies.

Justin Lawrence (2-3), pitching for the third time in as many days, earned the win with a perfect fifth inning in relief of German Marquez, who pitched for the first time since he underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2023. Marquez allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings.

Victor Vodnik got the final five outs for his second save. He struck out pinch hitter J.D. Martinez, the potential tying run, to end the game.

Alonso’s homer in the fourth was his first since July 2, a span of 43 plate appearances. Francisco Lindor drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs before Marquez induced Brandon Nimmo to ground to second to force Lindor.

Jeff McNeil had an RBI double in the eighth. Later in the inning, Brandon Nimmo legged out the back end of a potential double play ball as Tyrone Taylor scored.

Jose Iglesias went 4-for-4 with two runs while Lindor finished with two hits.

Quintana gave up five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings. The four homers allowed were a career-high for the southpaw.
