DENVER — Jake McCarthy<\/a> hit a grand slam and matched a career-high with five RBI as the Colorado Rockies<\/a> snapped a six-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the New York Mets<\/a> on Thursday. <\/p>\n

By ending their skid, the Rockies avoided just the third winless homestand of at least six games in franchise history. <\/p>\n

The eighth-inning grand slam snapped a 2-2 tie and was the second home run in as many days for McCarthy, who had entered the series without a homer in his previous 22 games with at least one at-bat. <\/p>\n

The homer, which snuck just inside the foul pole in right field, was upheld after being reviewed by umpires. <\/p>\n

McCarthy, who is hitting .354 since April 5, had previously tied the game in the sixth inning with an RBI double to center field. <\/p>\n

Antonio Senzatela<\/a> (2-0) threw two scoreless innings to earn the win. Colorado\u2019s bullpen shut out the Mets across 3 1\/3 innings, a stretch in which they allowed just one hit. Craig Kimbrel<\/a> (0-2) took the loss after allowing McCarthy\u2019s grand slam, a swing that ballooned his ERA from 3.68 to 7.56. <\/p>\n

Andy Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez and Tyrone Taylor<\/a> each drove in a run for the Mets, who were seeking their first sweep of the season.<\/p>\n

Rockies: RHP Chase Dollander<\/a> (3-2, 3.38 ERA) will take the mound against LHP Jes\u00fas Luzardo (3-3, 5.09) and the host Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> on Friday. <\/p>\n

Mets: RHP Nolan McLean<\/a> (1-2, 2.97) will face off against RHP Ryne Nelson<\/a> (1-3, 6.61) and the host Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> on Friday. <\/p>\n
