The Mets snapped a 1-1 tie with a four-run rally in the sixth to hand the Phillies a 5-2 defeat. Wayne Garrett delivered the biggest blow, a three-run homer after Ted Martinez singled, stole second and moved to third on a fly ball. Rusty Staub had walked and Benny Ayala singled across the go-ahead run to knock out Philadelphia starter Larry Christenson. Mac Scarce relieved and was greeted by Garrett's 13th homer of the year. Both clubs tallied single runs in the fourth, and the Phillies tacked on their final counter in the ninth against Jerry Koosman, who went the distance for his 15th victory. [The Sporting News]
