The New York Mets pummeled the Colorado Rockies on Saturday afternoon as Juan Soto put together a big performance, going 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk.

The New York Mets know Juan Soto is dealing with a rough patch for the organization, and now his teammates are coming to his defense -- including Pete Alonso.

NEW YORK — Typically, an end-of-May press conference with David Stearns would revolve around the team’s performance up to this point. The Mets president of baseball operations has said that he views Memorial Day as a mark on the baseball calendar that paints a sample size of how the team is performing.

When it comes to what right fielder Juan Soto, whom the Mets poached from the Yankees on a 15-year, $765 million contract this offseason, has been feeling since joining the Mets, Lindor understands. To this point, Lindor feels his teammate has been doing all the right things.

Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso homered in the fifth inning while Juan Soto added a solo shot of his own in the eighth in the Mets’ 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. Lindor’s solo shot was his 13th of the season, while Soto added his tenth.

Former Yankees legend threw his full support behind Juan Soto amid the Mets star’s early struggles this season.

Since implementing the lineup switch, Soto’s come alive — he’s 3-for-7 with two extra-base hits in his last two games — as have Nimmo and Alonso. In five games since returning from a neck injury that sidelined him for three days, Nimmo’s 8-for-19 (.421 batting average) with two extra-base hits.

Had Juan Soto not entered the night on one of the longest hitless streaks of his career, his RBI double in the third inning Friday would have been a mere footnote of the Mets’ 4-2 win over the Rockies,
