Phillies still have magic over Mets

NEW YORK -- April or September, doesn’t seem to matter. The New York Mets can’t find a way to hold off Philadelphia.

Jamie Moyer pitched six effective innings, Jayson Werth hit a tiebreaking single and the Phillies rallied past New York, 5-2, Tuesday with the help of Carlos Delgado’s key error in the seventh.

It was another late comeback by Philadelphia, which took advantage of the Mets’ epic collapse in September to win the division title. New York led by seven games with 17 left to play, but went 5-12 down the stretch and missed the playoffs.

During a pregame ceremony, the Mets honored the legacy of attorney William A. Shea. The ballpark was named after Shea, credited with leading the charge to bring National League baseball back to New York after the departure of the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers after the 1957 season.
