Helton and Atkins had five RBI each and every starter scored atleast one run in the Rockies' 17-7 rout over the Mets onWednesday night.

Atkins went 4-for-5 with a home run and Brad Hawpe and TroyTulowitzki also homer as the Rockies raked New York's pitchingfor a season-high total in runs and tying a season high in hitswith 20.

Colorado became the first team to ever sweep a series from boththe Mets and New York Yankees in a season.

The Rockies, who banged out 18 hits and 11 runs in beating NewYork on Tuesday, were even more effective against the shakyMets' pitching one night later.

With Colorado trailing, 3-0, after one inning, Atkins led offthe second with a single and Hawpe followed with his 14th homerun to cut the lead to 3-2.

The Rockies tied it in the third when Cory Sullivan led off witha single and stole second. Mets starter Orlando Hernandez(4-4) then retired Kazuo Matsui on a strikeout before uncorkinga wild pitch that moved Sullivan to third base with one out.

Following a walk to Matt Holliday, Helton hit a sacrifice fly toright field to score Sullivan and tie the game at 3-3.

Everything unraveled for the Mets in the fourth when anunusually wild Hernandez helped the Rockies' cause.

After a leadoff double by Yorvit Torrealba, pitcher Josh Foggsacrificed him to third before Sullivan walked. After retiringMatsui on a groundout, Hernandez retired Matsui before walkingHolliday and Helton to force in a run.

Atkins followed with a grounder to shortstop Jose Reyes, but anill-advised throw went into the Rockies' dugout and scored twomore runs to give Colorado a 6-3 lead.

The Rockies added six more runs in the fifth off Guillermo Mota,who got only two outs and gave up home runs to Tulowitzki andAtkins.

Fogg (4-6) pitched six innings and allowed five runs and eighthits while walking one and striking out three.

Mets third baseman David Wright gave New York a 3-0 lead in thefirst inning with his 15th home run.
