Phillies 5, Mets 2
NEW YORK — The Phillies' Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning, and Cole Hamels snapped a five-start losing streak to the Mets. Hamels struck out a season-high 10 to win his third straight outing overall and improve to 3-9 in 15 career games against New York. He recovered from a shaky start to retire his final 11 batters, five by strikeout.
