Jake McCarthy's first career grand slam seals Rockies' comeback over Mets
McCarthy matched a career high with five RBIs and hit Colorado’s first grand slam of the season as the Rockies ended a six-game skid.
On Thursday, Jake McCarthy hit a grand slam and matched a career-high with five RBIs, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the New York Mets at Coors Field.
After struggling offensively all afternoon, Colorado snapped a six-game losing streak when McCarthy connected on his first career grand slam in the eighth inning.
McCarthy's 448-foot blast off New York relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel broke a 2-2 tie, while Rockies starter Jose Quintana threw 5 2/3 innings of two-run ball.
Relief pitcher Antonio Senzatela tossed two scoreless innings to earn the win, ensuring Colorado avoided being swept by the Mets in the series.
Colorado now begins a six-game road trip to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh as attendance continues to lag through the team's first 19 home games of 2026.
