**Mets Head to Colorado After Painful Loss to Dodgers**

The New York Mets are looking for a morale boost as they head to Colorado for a three-game series against the struggling Rockies. Following a particularly frustrating and heart-wrenching 6-5 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets are in dire need of some straightforward victories to lift their spirits. This upcoming series could serve as the perfect remedy, offering them a chance to rebound and regain their momentum.

The recent showdown against the high-priced Dodgers, valued at $400 million, left the Mets with a sense of missed opportunity. Despite having a promising series within their grasp, a combination of missed chances and a critical defensive error resulted in an unsatisfying split of the four-game series. What makes this outcome even more bitter is that the Mets appeared to be the superior team during this particular match-up of baseball giants, which adds to their frustration as they travel to Colorado.

"Splitting the series feels like a loss when you consider how we played," said Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. "We were sloppy today, we didn't play well, and it cost us."

A few easy wins against the Rockies could help the Mets get back on track, making them feel "a mile high" as they try to put the recent disappointment behind them.
