DENVER — It was a sunny 78 degrees when Rockies ace Aaron Cook threw the first pitch of his clean 10-pitch first inning Friday night. But swirling winds dropped the temperature quickly, and Cook turned just as cold.
Carlos Delgado’s two-run homer paced a five-run second inning, and Trot Nixon added a solo shot in the third as the Mets gave the Rockies their second loss in seven games, 7-2, at Coors Field in front of 30,411.
Jeff Baker gave the Rockies the lead with his fourth home run in four games, a two-run shot off John Maine (7-5) in the bottom of the first. But Maine lasted 6 2/3 innings and gave up no other runs, scattering six hits and striking out six, including Todd Helton and Garrett Atkins with two on to end the third inning.
