The home run was the first of his career as a starting pitcher.\n\nNew York extended the lead in the fourth inning thanks to a two-run single by Carson Benge, while Luis Torrens added another run with a run-scoring groundout.\n\nThe Mets’ offense responded again in the sixth inning with a four-run rally that included RBI singles by Francisco \u00c1lvarez and Bo Bichette. Later, Marcus Semien sealed the victory with a two-run homer in the ninth inning.\n\nAll Mets hitters reached base at least once, and five players finished with multiple hits.\n\nStarting pitcher Freddy Peralta pitched five scoreless innings to earn the win, backed by an offense that withstood Colorado’s comeback, which scored four runs in the sixth inning against reliever Tobias Myers.\n\nThe victory came after an unusual winter storm covered the city of Denver in snow between Tuesday and Wednesday, causing the temporary suspension of the series.\n\n\n
