Rockies 3, Mets 0: Dollander Finishes Doubleheader Sweep

April 26, 2026 - Queens - The Colorado Rockies completed a doubleheader sweep and a three-game series sweep of the New York Mets with a 3-0 win in the nightcap.

Chase Dollander held the Mets to five hits over seven innings in his first start of the year, according to ESPN. The loss sent New York to its 15th loss in 17 games, a brutal number for a team trying to stop a slide.

Colorado Finished the Job

The Rockies also won the first game of the doubleheader 3-1, but the nightcap was the sharper pitching statement. Dollander gave Colorado length, control, and a shutout path.

New York had six hits in the nightcap but no runs. Colorado did not need a big inning. It just needed Dollander to keep the Mets quiet, and he did.
