Phillies 8, Mets 2: Ty Wigginton drove in four runs and broke open the game with a bases-loaded double in the five-run eighth inning to help the Phillies break out of an offensive slump and salvage the final game of the three-game series.
Ruben Tejada's throwing error kept the Phillies' half of the eighth alive, leading to five unearned runs.
The Mets took a 2-0 lead on Ike Davis' two-run homer in the first against Cole Hamels. It was Davis' first home run since May 6, 2011.
Hamels (1-1) didn't allow much more, though, giving up only two runs on six hits over seven innings. He struck out 10.
Mets starter Mike Pelfrey matched Hamels for six innings, giving up one run on eight hits, but the Phillies rallied for two runs against reliever Ramon Ramirez (1-1) in the seventh and blew it open in the eighth.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Phillies matched a season-high with 14 hits. … Laynce Nix's RBI double in the seventh was the Phillies' first extra-base hit in 68 plate appearances. … Mets outfielder Jason Bay sat out with a jammed ring finger on his right hand. … After his three-run double, Wigginton scored from second on John Mayberry's infield single that dribbled down the first-base line without rolling foul. … The Mets hit five home runs in the series. The Phillies have hit only five all season.
