DENVER (AP) — Brian Serven launched a pair of two-run homers — his first two major league hits — to lead the Colorado Rockies over the New York Mets 11-3 on Saturday night for a doubleheader split.

C.J. Cron also went deep for the Rockies, and Connor Joe had three hits.

In the opener, Starling Marte homered in his return to the lineup as the Mets rolled to a 5-1 victory.

Friday night’s scheduled game was postponed when wintry weather blew into Colorado after temperatures were in the high 80s on Thursday. Snow continued to fall Saturday morning but the sky cleared before the first pitch of the day. Temperatures were in the 40s for both games.

Serven, who went 0 for 2 in his major league debut Wednesday, homered in the second inning off Trevor Williams (0-3) to put Colorado ahead 4-2. Batting ninth, the rookie catcher added a two-run shot in a seven-run sixth.

Serven also threw out J.D. Davis trying to steal second to end the sixth inning.

“Those are special moments. It’s awesome. I love it,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “Two good swings. He took advantage of a couple of breaking balls that were hung.”

Ashton Goudeau (1-0) pitched 2 2/3 innings of relief to earn the win.

Carlos Carrasco (4-1) allowed a run on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings and Luis Guillorme had three hits in the opener for New York.

Marte was away from the team following the death of his grandmother and was reinstated from the bereavement list before the first game. His first swing of the day went deep into the left-field bleachers to give the Mets a 2-0 lead two batters into the game.
