The Mets will play their fourth doubleheader of the season today…This will mark the second time the Mets faced off against the Rockies in a doubleheader this year…The team last hosted the Rockies for two in one day on April 14, 2011, when the Rockies swept the twinbill…The Mets are 4-2 in twinbills in 2021…New York swept a doubleheader from Philadelphia on Tuesday, April 13 at Citi Field and split doubleheaders in Colorado on April 17 and in St. Louis on May 5…New York will also play two on June 19 at Washington, June 25 vs. Philadelphia, August 31 vs. Miami and September 4 at Washington
