San Francisco ? Kirk Rueter doesn’t see anything special about his years of consistency — not even after beating a team that can’t seem to stay consistent from day to day.

Barry Bonds hit a two-run double, and Rueter pitched into the eighth inning as San Francisco won its fifth straight, beating Colorado, 4-0, Sunday.

Rueter (6-1) had an efficient performance, allowing seven hits in 71¼3 innings. Five days after his worst start of the season against the Rockies in Denver, the left-hander walked just one batter and didn’t allow a runner to reach third base.

The Rockies hadn’t been shut out in 82 games — the longest active streak in the majors. Colorado fell one game short of the franchise record for consecutive games without a shutout loss.

Quiet success is nothing new for Rueter, who has been a pillar of the Giants’ rotation since 1996. The victory was his 90th with the Giants, tying the unassuming groundball pitcher for fourth place in San Francisco’s history.

“I just love pitching for this club, and I hope that I can keep doing it,” Rueter said. “I do nothing different. I’m the same every game. … My approach was no different than it was (earlier) in Colorado. I always just try to keep the ball on the ground, and today I got two double plays that really helped me.”

Rueter is unbeaten in his last six starts, going 4-0 with a 3.32 ERA. When he left in the eighth after throwing 121 pitches, he acknowledged a standing ovation with a wave of his glove.

Mets 10, Braves 4

New York — Jeromy Burnitz capped an eight-run sixth inning with a three-run homer as New York rallied to beat Atlanta and take two of three games from the NL East leaders. New York, just 26-30 this season, has gone 7-5 the last two weeks against division rivals Atlanta and Philadelphia.

Phillies 4-4, Expos 3-1

Philadelphia — Tomas Perez hit a two-run double to help back another impressive outing by Brett Myers as Philadelphia completed a doubleheader sweep of Montreal. Jose Mesa saved both games for the Phillies, who won the opener behind six strong innings from Randy Wolf and Ricky Ledee’s two-run double. They swept the three-game series and have won four of five overall.

The Expos managed just eight hits in the two games and have lost six of seven. They tied a season-low with three hits in the opener.

Astros 9, Cubs 3

Chicago — Lance Berkman and Morgan Ensberg homered as Houston kept Kerry Wood winless since April. Coming off a 1-0 loss in 16 innings Saturday, the Astros broke a 23-inning scoreless drought with four runs in the fourth. Wood (4-4) failed for a sixth straight start to get his fifth win this season and the 50th of his career. Wood’s next start is scheduled for Saturday against fellow Texan Roger Clemens.

Diamondbacks 10, Padres 4

San Diego — Luis Gonzalez homered and drove in four runs for the second straight game, and Edgar Gonzalez won his major-league debut for Arizona.

Shea Hillenbrand went 0-for-3 with two walks in his debut with the Diamondbacks.

St. Louis — Edgar Renteria hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning as St. Louis snapped a three-game losing streak. J.D.

Reds 9, Marlins 6

Miami — Sean Casey homered, doubled and drove in three runs, leading Cincinnati. Casey went 3-for-3 as Cincinnati won for only the third time in 10 games.
