DENVER (AP) — Ronny Maurico hit his first homer of the season, a 456-foot shot into the second deck, Francisco Lindor had three hits and two stolen bases, and the New York Mets rolled past the Colorado Rockies 8-1 on Saturday night.

Jeff McNeil and Jared Young also homered and Brandon Nimmo and Luis Torrens each drove in two runs in a matchup of teams with the National League’s best and worst records. New York, which is a season-high 17 games over .500 at 41-24, improved to 5-0 against Colorado this season.

Clay Holmes (7-3) gave up nine hits in six innings, but just one earned run. He had six strikeouts and no walks.

The loss dropped Colorado to 12-52, matching the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the worst 64-game start to an MLB season since 1901.
