Starling Marte returns, lifts Mets to win first Rockies doubleheader
On the first pitch he saw in the first inning, Marte crushed a 94-mph fastball from German Marquez for a two-run homer, setting the Mets on a course from which they never veered.
Marte, who left the team earlier in the week to mourn the death of his grandmother, finished 2-for-5 as the Mets scored four runs in the first two innings, providing a nice cushion for starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco. No stranger to doubleheaders, the Mets were set Saturday to play their fifth of the season and 19th since the beginning of 2021 . They had earned at least a split in their previous 18 doubleheaders, a franchise record for avoiding sweeps, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
“It’s a hard situation because it’s one of those things that is going to be in my mind for a very long time,” Marte said of his grandmother’s death. “But being around the team, in a sense it is kind of a distraction, but … things happen in life and we’re just going to try to go along with it.”
