Pedro Feliciano's 1.82 ERA, if it holds up, will rank among the
all-time top 50 for NL lefties working at least 60 innings in a season.

lead in their win at Houston. Wright, who hit a grand slam on Wednesday
night in Colorado, is now 14-for-30 (.467) in his major-league career
with the bases loaded. Only two active players with at least 20 career
at-bats with the bags full have higher averages in those situations: So Taguchi 17-for-32, .531) and Miquel Olivo (15-for-32, .469).
David Wright has 14 RBI in his last five games to give him a career-high 105 on the season.

Carlos Beltran has tied Jose Reyes for the Major League lead for Runs with 109.

Rockies 10-5, ending Colorado's team-record streak of 39 home games
without allowing their opponent to score in double-figures. During one
stretch from September 1998 to May 2000, the Rockies didn't record even
a 10-game streak holding their opponents to 10 runs or less in each.
• Carlos Delgado hit his 25th double of the season on Tuesday to clinch his 11th
consecutive season with at least 25 homers and 25 doubles. That's the
third-longest such streak in major-league history. Manny Ramirez
extended his streak to 12 straight seasons last week, tying the record
set by Lou Gehrig from 1927-38.
Carlos Beltran hit his 200th career homer and scored three of the Mets' 12 runs in Saturday's victory over the Phillies.
The
homer was his 38th, matching his career high established in 2004, and
it gave him 108 RBI, which equals his previous best from his rookie
season in 1999.
Jose Reyes is on pace to finish the season with 20 doubles, 20 triples,
20 homers, and 20 stolen bases. This has only happened twice in major
league baseball history by Willie Mays in 1957 and the Frank
Schulte in 1911.
Since his blown save on August 1st, Billy Wagner has lowered his ERA from 2.55 to 2.28 in 10 innings pitched.
He has given up just 1 earned run (on a home run by Jeremy Barfield), 8 hits, and just 2 walks, while striking out 13.

seven-or-more runs in which one of its players hit at least three
homers.
Major League teams now have a record of 382-84
(.820) in games in which they have a player with three homers.
• We know the Mets lost to the Phillies, but here are three
tidbits on what Jose Reyes has accomplished Tuesday night and this
season:
– He hit a home run on the first pitch. The only other major
league player to hit a home run on the first pitch in the top of the
first inning in a game this season is Alfonso Soriano, who's done it twice (July 15 and July 18). Before Reyes, the last Met
to do it was Kaz Matsui, on the first pitch of the team's 2004 season
opener in Atlanta!
– He had a cycle earlier this season and three home runs
Tuesday night. Reyes is the first player with a cycle and a three-homer
game in the same season since Miguel Tejada did it for Oakland in 2001. The last National League player to do it was Andre Dawson for the Cubs in 1987.
– He's the second player this season to hit three home runs from the
first spot in the batting order (Alfonso Soriano did it on April 21).
Prior to this season, the last major league player to do it was Brant
Brown for the Cubs on June 18, 1998.
Willie Randolph after the game remarked in awe of his young shortstop, saying the best is yet to come.
From ESPN
allowed six runs in only one inning Monday, ending his streak of 289
consecutive starts in which he lasted at least three innings. That was
the longest streak of starts going at least three innings for any major
league pitcher since Walter Johnson went at least three in 313 straight
starts from 1911 through 1919.
The last time Pedro did not record at
least nine outs was almost exactly 10 years ago, on Aug. 19, 1996, when
he allowed six runs and got only four outs at Jack Murphy Stadium in
San Diego.
Entering the day, the only pitcher with a current streak of going at least three innings even half as long as Pedro's was Roger Clemens, who has done it in each of his last 188 starts (since 2000).
• The
Mets, 71-45 (.612) entering the day, were beaten by the Phillies, 13-0.
In the last 75 years, only two other teams with as good a record as the
Mets at least 100 games into a season have been shut out by such a
margin. In 2004, the Yankees (81-49) were beaten by the Indians, 22-0.
And in 1977, the Phillies (72-44) were blanked by the Expos, 13-0.
ESPN reports Pedro Martinez is about to do something very few pitchers in baseball have been able to accomplish.
Steve Carlton or Warren Spahn were able to accomplish what Martinez is
about to achieve. Martinez, who has a lifetime mark of 206-88 with a
2.75 ERA in 15 big league seasons, is trying to join Hall of Fame
right-handers Tom Seaver, Walter Johnson and Bob Gibson as the only
hurlers with 200 victories, 3,000 strikeouts and a sub-3.00 ERA.
Pedro needs 15 more strikeouts to reach this rare feat.

7.77 k/9, and a 1.19 WHIP. If you take out his two horrible starts in
which he failed to make it out the second inning, he has eleven starts
with a 3.00 ERA, 7.13 h/9, 7.63 k/9, 1.06 WHIP, and a 2.38 bb/9. He as
gone at least seven innings in six starts and at least six innings in
eight starts
Since Duaner Sanchez went down, Aaron Heilman is 1-1 with 5 holds, 13 hits, 7 runs, 7 walks, and 11 strikeouts in 15.1 innings, a 4.17 ERA.
