Phillies 3, Mets 0
Greg Dobbs puts away the game with a two-run homer in the seventh. (Kathy Willens/AP)
By Ken Mandel / MLB.com
The Phils manufactured a run in the first on a single, a steal, an error and a groundout. That bit of small ball would be all they needed as Brett Myers stifled the Mets, allowing just three hits and fanning 10. The win pulls Philadelphia a game closer to New York in the National League East.
