The Phils continued their series with the Mets tonight, as they looked for their 5th win in a row. The veteran Jamie Moyer got the start and pitched well allowing just 3 runs on 7 hits in 6 and 2/3rd's innings of work. Meanwhile, the Phils eked out enough runs to take a lead into the 8th inning, but would it hold up? Now onto the game. In the top of the first, Jose Reyes singled and scored on a fielder's choice for a 1-0 Met's lead. In the top of the 4th, David Wright doubled, stole third, and scored on an error by Ryan Howard, and Damian Easley singled in a run for a 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the 4th, Howard redeemed himself, slamming a 3 run homer to knot it all up. In the bottom of the 7th, Jayson Werth slapped a 2 out RBI single for a 4-3 Phils' lead. Sadly the Phils' bullpen would not hold the lead. In the top of the 8th, one run scored on a wild pitch by Tom "Flash" Gordon and two more crossed the plate on a double by Brian Schneider for a 6-4 Met's lead. Then in the top of the 9th, a fielding error by Rudy Seanez scored one run, Carlos Beltran who reached base on that error scored a second run on a fielder's choice, and Endy Chavez singled in a third run, for a 9-4 Met's lead. Finally, in the bottom of the inning the stunned Phils went down in order to finish off a 9-4 Met's win. So the Phils drop to 48-40 overall, but remain 3.5 games up in the NL East.
