Mets 8, Rockies 0

At present Jose Reyes has hit safely in 17 straight games. At present the Mets have 38 more games scheduled to be played this season. Opening day next year would be quite the event were things to continue as they are at present for the rest of the season, would it not? Reyes had another multihit game on Monday, the twelfth during his streak, singling twice, walking once, stealing a base and scoring three runs. Jason Phillips also had a fine offensive day, with two hits including a two-run homer, his tenth of the season. Mike Piazza put one over the wall as well, his ninth of the season. Piazza also walked twice and drove in three runs.

But the star of the show was Steve Trachsel, who carried another no-hit bid into the sixth inning and wound up tossing his second one-hit shutout of the season, striking out three and walking none. The win was Trachsel's third in a row and twelfth overall, tying him for the team lead with the resurgent Al Leiter.  ¶ joe | 2:02 AM |
