Rockies Beat Mets 8-5, Toglia Homers Thrice

The Colorado Rockies defeated the New York Mets 8-5 on Sunday, propelled by Michael Toglia's historic three-homer performance. Toglia, the first Rockies switch-hitter to achieve this, hit two home runs off Mets starter Jose Quintana and one off reliever Adrian Houser. Ezequiel Tovar also contributed two home runs, while Brenton Doyle added another. Despite Pete Alonso's two-run homer, the Mets' five-game winning streak was snapped. The Mets, who have rebounded impressively since early June, enter the All-Star break with a 49-46 record. Rockies pitcher Germán Márquez made his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023.
