NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Chase Dollander<\/a> held the Mets to five hits over seven innings in his first start this year, and the Colorado Rockies<\/a> beat New York 3-0 in a doubleheader nightcap Sunday to complete a three-game sweep that sent the spiraling Mets to their 15th loss in 17 games.<\/p>\n

Hunter Goodman<\/a> hit a two-run homer that helped chase Kodai Senga<\/a> in the third.<\/p>\n

Colorado, which won Sunday\u2019s opener 3-1, swept a series from the Mets for the first time since 2018. The Rockies have two sweeps in their first nine series this season, also taking three games against Houston from April 6-8. They swept one of 52 series last year, three games at Miami from June 2-4.<\/p>\n

New York, which has the major leagues\u2019 highest payroll, dropped to 9-19 and is 47-74 dating to mid-June last year. The Mets had just 10 hits in the doubleheader, were shut out for the fifth time and were dealt their fourth series sweep this season.<\/p>\n

Many fans in the announced crowd of 38,155 left after the Rockies took a 3-0 lead in the third inning.<\/p>\n

Dollander (3-2), who had pitched mostly in bulk relief following an opener, set career highs for innings and pitches (105) while striking out seven and walking two. Zach Agnos<\/a> pitched a perfect ninth for his second save.<\/p>\n

Troy Johnston<\/a>, who homered in the opener, had an RBI single in the second and Goodman hit his seventh homer of the season in the third.<\/p>\n

Pitching on eight days\u2019 rest, Senga (0-4) allowed three runs, three hits and three walks in 2 2\/3 innings as his ERA rose to 9.00. He has allowed five homers in 20 innings.<\/p>\n

Carl Edwards Jr.<\/a> pitched 3 1\/3 hitless innings in his debut for the Mets, his ninth big league team.<\/p>\n

Umpire Louie Krupa worked his first major league game behind the plate after making his debut Friday at second base. Only one of four ABS challenges was successful.<\/p>\n
