Mets Split the Doubleheader with Colorado. One Step Forward, One Step Back.

One out of two isn’t zero.

The New York Mets split Sunday’s doubleheader with the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field — winning one game and dropping the other in what was ultimately a mixed afternoon in Queens. After losing Friday night this wasn’t the full statement bounce-back the Mets needed but it beats going 0-for-2 on the day.

The split keeps the series close but the bigger concern is that the Rockies — one of the worst teams in the National League — have taken more than their share from the Mets in this series. That’s a pattern that needs to stop before it becomes a habit.

The good news is the schedule moves on quickly. Washington Nationals come to Citi Field this week and the Mets have a chance to find their rhythm against a beatable opponent. The NL East race is long and one so-so series against Colorado in April doesn’t define a season.
