AP - A hustling Blackmon was credited with an inside-the-park home run ? even though his shot actually went over the fence ? and the Colorado Rockies romped to a 13-4 victory Sunday that prevented a three-game sweep. With a runner aboard in the seventh inning, Blackmon launched a drive that barely cleared the orange line atop the left-center wall and caromed back onto the grass. Waved home by third base coach Stu Cole, the two-time All-Star raced around the basepaths and scored uncontested. Ian Desmond provided an instant spark in his return from the disabled list, and Nolan Arenado hit a three-run homer as Colorado routed Steven Matz and the Mets. The left-hander gave up a two-run single to Desmond with two outs in the first inning and a two-run double to Trevor Story.
