Daniel Murphy drove in four runs as the New York Mets matched a club record with their 11th straight Major League Baseball victory on Thursday, walking their way to a 6-3 win over the Atlanta Braves behind pitcher Bartolo Colon.
With the top record in the majors despite injuries to several critical players, the Mets finished their first homestand 10-0 after sweeping a trio of NL East rivals.
This is the fifth time the Mets have won 11 games in a row, and the first since 1990.
Colon (4-0) allowed three runs over six innings to win his first four starts for the first time in his big league career.
Julio Teheran (2-1) walked three of his first four batters, and Murphy hit a bases-clearing double to right field.
