Custom Atlanta Braves Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. NEW YORK -- Slipping in the standings and on the cusp of getting wiped out by Colorado again, the New York Mets got a huge swing from Neil Walker in the seventh inning.Walker hit a go-ahead, three-run homer that rallied the Mets past the Rockies 6-4 on Sunday and prevented a season sweep.The switch-hitter also had an RBI triple, extending his recent tear at the plate, and Jeurys Familia rebounded from consecutive blown saves. New York sustained another costly injury, this one to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, but snapped a four-game skid that matched its longest this season.Its a huge win for us, manager Terry Collins said. Hopefully it gets us going a little bit and we kind of lighten up and loosen up a little bit, start swinging the bats better.Alejandro De Aza and rookie Brandon Nimmo each contributed a run-scoring single as the third-place Mets finally generated some offense -- and a little momentum heading into this weeks Subway Series against the retooling Yankees. The first two games are at Citi Field, with the final two across town in the Bronx.Playing without ailing slugger Yoenis Cespedes, New York won for only the second time in 10 home games and averted a four-game sweep to finish 1-6 against the Rockies (52-53) this year. Before that, the Mets took 11 straight from Colorado -- including a 7-0 mark last season.You never like to be staring at the barrel of a possible four-game sweep at home under any circumstances, Walker said.Carlos Gonzalez hit a tying double in the fifth and a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh off winner Jerry Blevins (4-1). Daniel Descalso had two RBI singles for the Rockies, who had won five in a row and nine of 10.Were playing really well. Its really exciting, where were at right now, second baseman DJ LeMahieu said. I see us keeping it rolling, too.We believe in ourselves. You cant fake believing in it, and we believe in it.De Aza walked with one out in the seventh and, one out later, James Loney drew a 10-pitch walk from Boone Logan (1-1). Walker drove his 17th homer to left-center, pumped his fist after crossing the plate and eventually came out for a curtain call.Logan had not allowed a home run since Peter Bourjos connected for St. Louis on June 9 last year. The left-handers streak lasted 45 2/3 innings.Addison Reed struck out three in a one-hit eighth, and Familia fanned two in a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 37th save in 39 attempts.The right-hander had racked up a franchise-record 52 consecutive saves in the regular season, the third-longest streak in major league history, before failing Wednesday night against St.dddddddddddd Louis and Thursday vs. Colorado.Cabrera was hurt while scoring from first base on Walkers two-out triple in the first. As he looked back to find the ball, Cabrera stumbled immediately after rounding third and hobbled all the way home. He was helped to the dugout by teammates.A few innings later, the Mets announced that Cabrera had a strained patellar tendon in his left knee -- the same injury that sidelined him for a little more than two weeks during spring training.We didnt have to carry him off the field in spring training. So Im really concerned about it, Collins said. He was in a lot of pain -- a lot more than Ive ever seen him.Cabrera is expected to see a doctor Monday.Perhaps a slick spot played a role in his injury. The start was delayed 38 minutes by rain that fell much of the morning as the tarp covered the infield. In fact, a potentially wet field was one reason Collins held Cespedes out of the lineup.Cespedes has been playing through a strained right quadriceps and left Saturday nights rainy game after five innings when the nagging injury tightened up.WALK THIS WAYWalker, who surpassed his home run total last season with Pittsburgh, had three hits and is 12 for 19 in his last five games following a 2-for-39 slump and a couple of days off. His sixth home run batting right-handed this season equaled his career total in 758 plate appearances before this year.PLAY AT THE PLATEGonzalez tried to score from third with two outs in the fifth on a pitch that got past Rene Rivera, but plate umpire Jeff Kellogg ruled the Mets catcher made the tag in time as both players dove headlong toward the plate. After a replay review, the call stood. I was definitely safe. I dont know what they were looking at, Gonzalez said.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Rookie SS Trevor Story sat out with a jammed left thumb that he injured Saturday night. Story, who began the day leading the NL with 27 home runs, said his goal is to return Tuesday at home against the Dodgers.Mets: Wilmer Flores moved from third base to shortstop to replace Cabrera, and Kelly Johnson entered at third.UP NEXTRockies: Following a day off, Colorado begins an eight-game homestand Tuesday night. RHP Jon Gray (7-4, 3.94 ERA) pitches against Los Angeles, looking to improve his 4-0 record at Coors Field.Mets: RHP Logan Verrett (3-6, 4.12 ERA) starts the Subway Series opener Monday night against Yankees LHP CC Sabathia (6-8, 3.95). Verrett has never faced the Yankees. ' ' '
