Phillies 3, Mets 2, 10 inn.

New York – Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. On a night where the Mets’ Tom Glavine and the Phillies’ Jamie Moyer pitched well but failed to get decisions, Philadelphia picked up its major league-leading 44th come-from-behind win and cut the Mets’ lead in the NL East to 51â2 games.

It was the first matchup between the top teams in the division since the Phillies swept a four-game series last month to cut the Mets’ lead to two games. New York responded by winning 10 of 12 and was hoping to put the Phillies away in the weekend series at Shea Stadium.

Jayson Werth led off the 10th inning with a single to left off Aaron Heilman (7-7). Carlos Ruiz then popped a bunt up foul but Mike DiFelice couldn’t bring it in. Given another chance, Ruiz got the sacrifice down and Heilman threw the ball into center field, giving Philadelphia runners on first and second.

Abraham Nunez advanced both runners with another sacrifice and Dobbs’ fly ball to center field made it 3-2.
