Mets Triumph Over Rockies After Weather Delay, Powered by Soto’s First Leadoff Home Run

On Wednesday night, May 7, 2026, the New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 10–5 at Coors Field after a six-hour postponement caused by a snowstorm. The game started at 7:20 p.m. under 41 °F conditions that fell to the mid-30s. Juan Soto opened with a leadoff home run, and the Mets added three runs in the fourth before holding off a late Rockies rally.

A 5.8-inch snowfall forced Tuesday’s game to be postponed and pushed Wednesday’s start back six hours. The Mets entered the series 4-1 on a nine-game road trip after a 17-loss stretch earlier in the season. Colorado was on a six-game skid, having lost seven of eight since a three-game sweep in late April.

Freddy Peralta threw five shutout innings for New York. Colorado’s TJ Rumfield and Jake McCarthy each homered, and Mickey Moniak extended his hitting streak to 18 games.
