The Mets extended their longest winning streak since a 10-game run in 2008. The team record is 11 in row, last done in 1990.
Curtis Granderson drove in four runs and Jonathon Niese (2-0) pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, helping the Mets stretch the best home start in club history to 8-0 at Citi Field.
