The Phils continued their series with the Mets tonight. Brett Myers, back from a stint with the AAA Iron Pigs, got the start and well he didn't look too different, as he walked 5 while allowing 3 runs on 3 hits in just 5 innings of work. Meanwhile, the Phils managed to scatter 3 runs on 6 hits off the Met's John Maine, so it would come down to a battle of the bullpens. Now onto the game. In the top of the first, Myers walked in one run and allowed another to score on a fielder's choice for a 2-0 Met's lead. In the top of the 2nd, "the Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino and Geoff Jenkins slammed back to back homers to knot it up at 2. In the bottom of the 3rd, Damian Easley singled in a run for a 3-2 Met's lead. In the top of the 5th, Jimmy Rollins doubled in a run to knot it up again at 3. In the bottom of the 6th, Jose Reyes slugged a 3 run homer for a 6-3 Met's lead. From there, the Phils scattered a few hits over the final innings but couldn't come up with another late rally. So they drop to 54-47 and back into a first place tie with the hated Mets.
