Rockies beat up on Mets again to complete sweep

<h3>COLORADO 17, NY METS 7</h3>DENVER (Ticker) -- Todd Helton, Garrett Atkins and the rest ofthe Colorado Rockies will be sad to see the New York Mets leavetown.

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.

"It's nice, it was a total team effort," Atkins said. "Itseemed like everyone had a couple hits tonight and we hadseveral good innings and any time you do that you feel goodabout how you're swinging the bat."

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.

"We were barreling the ball pretty good tonight," Rockiesmanager Clint Hurdle said. "When your four and five hitters get10 RBI, we were on base all night tonight."

"We didn't play well, that's the bottom line," Mets managerWillie Randolph said. "We got outplayed here. They're atalented young team trying to turn things around and they tookadvantage of us. This was a giveaway game."

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.

"We're heading in the right direction," Tulowitzki said. "Wecan compete with anybody, we've proven that, and we need tocontinue it and keep winning games."

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

"You don't want to give up three in the first but it seems likeyesterday was the same way," Fogg said. "I gave up a couple inthe first and the offense scored all those runs in each inningfrom the second through the sixth. It's nice pitching with a10-3 lead in the sixth inning."

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