Colorado, which won Sunday's opener 3-1, swept a series from the Mets for the first time since 2018. The Rockies have two sweeps in their first nine series this season, also taking three games against Houston from April 6-8. They swept one of 52 series last year, three games at Miami from June 2-4.

New York, which has the major leagues' highest payroll, dropped to 9-19 and is 47-74 dating to mid-June last year. The Mets had just 10 hits in the doubleheader, were shut out for the fifth time and were dealt their fourth series sweep this season.

Many fans in the announced crowd of 38,155 left after the Rockies took a 3-0 lead in the third inning.
