The Colorado Rockies opened their seven game road trip on a high note, beating the New York Mets 3-1 last night. An injury-depleted Rockies lineup struggled for offense against New York’s All-Star starting pitcher R.A. Dickey, with a solo home run by Tyler Colvin accounting for the only run for the Rockies through seven innings. But starter Alex White and a pair of relievers kept the Mets to just one run as the game entered the eighth. In that frame, Jonathan Herrera led off with a hit and eventually scored on a passed ball to put the Rockies in front. Ramon Hernandez’s RBI single in the ninth provided insurance. Rex Brothers earned his team-best seventh win in relief, and Rafael Betancourt finished the game for his 24^th save. The Rockies and Mets play game two of their four game set in Queens tonight.
