Mets 4, Tigers 3
NEW YORK – Jose Reyes’ 10th-inning triple set up Mike Cameron’s second game-winning hit in two nights, and the New York Mets beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 Saturday night.
Just off the disabled list after missing the first 66 games of the season, Reyes was in the middle of the Mets’ two key rallies.
Reyes, who had been out since straining his right hamstring in spring training March 14, was hitless in his first three at-bats, striking out twice.

Rockies 11, Orioles 6
DENVER – Preston Wilson drove in four runs in his second game since coming off the disabled list and Jeff Fassero threw five-plus solid innings to win for the first time in nearly a year, lifting the Colorado Rockies to an 11-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
Vinny Castilla drove in three runs, Todd Helton drove in two, and Royce Clayton had two RBIs and scored four runs for Colorado, which has won four of five since an eight-game losing streak. Wilson, who missed 58 games due to knee surgery, was 2-for-3.
The Rockies scored five runs in the third inning off Eric DuBose (5-5) and three more in the fourth to win consecutive series for the first time since beating San Francisco and Los Angeles last July.
Javy Lopez was 3-for-5 and Rafael Palmeiro had three RBIs for Baltimore, which matched a season high with its seventh straight loss despite getting 14 hits.
