Mets Make Quick Work Of Phils

Win Rubber Game, 3-1, in Just 2:18

Carlos Delgado smacked a two-run double in the bottom of the 8th off Philadelphia reliever JC Romero to put the Mets in front, 3-1. Billy Wagner then closed it out in the 9th.

Oliver Perez went 7 2/3, allowing 3 hits while striking out 12 and walking only one. He was relieved by Aaron Heilman in the 8th after he plunked Ryan Howard.

The Mets are now 1 full game ahead of the Phillies in the NL East after being written off after their meltdown on Tuesday night. What a difference 2 days make.
