After winning the first two games of the series on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Mets closed out their mid-week series with a 7-3 victory over San Francisco in Shea Stadium on Thursday.

The story of the day was Fernando Tatis, who led the way with four RBI, including a homerun and two doubles to accompany John Maine’s two hit performance in which he gave up all three of the Giants runs. The Mets are now riding a six game winning streak - their longest run since 2006.

In addition to the break-out performance by Tatis, David Wright also contributed heavily with two doubles of his own, while scoring the go-ahead run in the bottom of the 7th inning. During the game, Mets ticket holders were persistently reminded by the team public-address announcers to text in their votes for Wright to earn the final N.L. spot on the All-Star roster.

Nevertheless, voting closed shortly after the conclusion of the game, and Milwaukee’s Corey Hart was added to the senior circuit ballot along with Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria for the American League.

Next up for the Mets is a three-game series in New York against the Colorado Rockies in a matchup of two teams who entered the season with very high expectations that have yet to pan out for either team. This series, leading in to the All-Star break, should be exciting, as the Rockies bring in their explosive offense into Shea Stadium.
