NEW YORK — Jose Buttó continued to thrive out of the bullpen Saturday, throwing 2 2/3 innings of solid relief and earning the win as the New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 7-3 to tie a season-high by moving four games over .500. Francisco Lindor provided insurance with a three-run homer in the eighth. Buttó is 3-0 with one save in four relief appearances since being promoted from Triple-A Syracuse on July 2. Dedniel Núñez earned his first career save and become the ninth Mets pitcher with a save this season.
