Mets 6, Phillies 3
Ryan Howard gets tangled up with Jose Reyes during a pickoff attempt. (Tom Mihalek/AP)
By Kevin Horan / MLB.com
The Phillies led for most of the night on the strength of early homers by Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth, but they missed numerous scoring opportunities after that, and the Mets rallied off the bullpen in the eighth inning. The loss leaves the Phils a half-game back in the NL East.
