"Jason Bay is now in a four-game hitting streak, a modest but much-needed breakthrough after he saw his average plummet over the first few months of the season.

He is now .412 over his last four games and finished yesterday's win over the Angels 2-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and a stolen base.

Mets manager Terry Collins said it's all about pitch selection.

"When he was really struggling, he was up there trying to hit everything," Collins said. "And I think he's backed off that. I think he's a lot more selective and therefore he's gotten some pitches to hit.""
