Ken Griffey Jr., one home run shy of 600 for his career, was not in the Reds starting lineup for the second consecutive day because of general soreness, but he walked as a pinch hitter in the eighth.

Derek Jeter tied Mickey Mantle for third on the Yankees' career list with 2,415 hits.

Jose Reyes had his 18-game hitting streak snapped, but he did reach base for the 34th straight game, the longest single-season streak in Mets history, surpassing Darryl Strawberry's 33 in a row in 1987.

The Phillies' Jimmy Rollins has been successful on his last 24 stolen base attempts dating to last season, the longest streak in the majors.

Blue Jay Alex Rios's 24-game hit streak against the Yankees is the longest against New York since Charlie Gehringer's 31-game run for Detroit from 1935-36, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
