Pete Rose equaled Tommy Holmes' 33-year-old modern National League record of hitting safely in 37 straight games as the Reds won over the Mets, 5-3. Rose, hitless in his first three times up, rapped a sharp single to left in the seventh inning. He also led off the ninth with a single and scored when Mike Lum snapped a 3-3 tie with a home run.
