Mets 10, Rockies 5: Soto, Semien Power a Snow-Delayed Coors Night

The lead

May 6, 2026 - Denver - The New York Mets stacked weather weirdness on top of a road trip they desperately needed to salvage. Juan Soto led off with a home run, Marcus Semien homered twice and collected four hits, and New York topped the Colorado Rockies 10-5 on a night Tuesday’s game had been snowed out and Wednesday’s first pitch slid six hours later, with temperatures in the 30s by the ninth, per the Associated Press recap on ESPN.

The Mets entered 4-1 on a nine-game trip after dropping 17 of 20—a quick pulse check on how volatile their May still looked.

How the game turned

Michael Lorenzen (2-4) never settled: Soto ambushed his third pitch for 1-0, and the Mets tacked three more in the fourth before a four-run sixth chased Lorenzen for good.

Freddy Peralta (2-3) held Colorado to four singles across five innings, but the Rockies flashed when Tobias Myers entered the sixth. TJ Rumfield led off with a homer, Tyler Freeman and Troy Johnston doubled, and Jake McCarthy launched a two-run shot to pull within 8-4—brief breath before Semien’s two-run ninth put the game back on ice.

Devin Williams recorded the final two outs after a bases-load mess in the ninth that included a hit batsman bringing a run home.

Pitching and matchup notes

Peralta’s line underscored the thin-air chess match: limited hard contact early, then a handoff as Coors demanded bullpen coverage. Williams’ fifth save closed a night when run-prevention still mattered despite the crooked team totals.

Bats that changed the board

Semien’s 4-for-5 evening with three runs scored and three RBI anchored the card; Soto’s leadoff blast set the tone against a team reeling on a six-game slide.

Carson Benge stayed hot with two hits as part of a 4-for-9 stretch with a homer and four RBI over three games, per ESPN’s sidebar notes.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

New York ranked third on May 6 at 18 AthX Engine team FP with a 10-5 line that reflects both Freddy Peralta’s 12 pitching FP and Marcus Semien’s 13 hitting FP in the same daily pull. Road trips at Coors often juice team fantasy totals when both sides trade innings; AthX Engine scoring remains distinct from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

Christian Scott and José Quintana were lined up for Thursday’s series finale as MLB shoehorned the postponed opener into the back half of the week—a schedule knot both clubs still have to navigate.
