Benge also saved a run with a diving catch in center field.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado has dropped five straight, and six of seven since allowing only four runs in a three-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field from April 24-26.<\/p>\n<p>New York got four hits in a four-run sixth after Sugano (3-2) was untouchable through five innings. He threw just 48 pitches and had faced the minimum entering the sixth before things unraveled for him.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Benge homered to right-center and Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens followed with consecutive doubles to make it 2-0. Sugano walked Juan Soto and was removed following Bo Bichette\u2019s groundout that put runners on second and third.<\/p>\n<p>Vientos drove in two more with a two-out single off Jaden Hill. Vientos hit a pair of two-run homers Sunday in a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n<p>Denver native David Peterson (1-4), the third New York pitcher, went four innings for the win. He gave up two runs and three hits with six strikeouts and no walks.<\/p>\n<p>Craig Kimbrel worked a scoreless eighth and Devin Williams pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.<\/p>\n<p>Mickey Moniak had two hits for Colorado to extend his hitting streak to 17 games.<\/p>\n<p>The Rockies scored twice in the seventh on an RBI triple by Jordan Beck and a run-scoring single by Kyle Karros. They threatened again in the eighth after Moniak\u2019s one-out triple, but he was stranded.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to move up the game three hours was made Sunday, with snow, rain and cold temperatures forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Up next<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mets RHP Freddy Peralta (1-3, 3.52 ERA) and Rockies RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-3, 6.09) are slated to start Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=453\">Semien and Soto homer, leading the surging Mets 10-5 over the Rockies<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=455\">Lindsey Vonn nominated to US ski team for next season as she faces long recovery from Olympic crash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=457\">Nathan MacKinnon delivers off big hits, scoring as Avalanche seize a 2-0 edge in series with Wild<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DENVER | Carson Benge homered leading off the sixth inning for New York\u2019s first hit against Tomoyuki Sugano, and the Mets beat the skidding Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Monday in a game moved up three hours to avoid potential wet weather.
