Utley, Phillies defeat Mets in extra innings

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 4, NY METS 2 (11 INNINGS)</h3>FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- Chase Utley wanted to make surethe Philadelphia Phillies fell no further behind in the NationalLeague East.

Utley belted a leadoff home run in the top of the 11th inning asthe Phillies rallied to beat the New York Mets, 4-2, onTuesday.

Utley, who had three hits and drove in three runs, helpedPhiladelphia (29-29) reach the .500 mark while closing to withinseven games of division-leading New York.

With the score tied at 2-2, Utley led off the 11th by hitting an0-1 pitch from reliever Pedro Feliciano (1-1) over the leftfield fence for his 11th homer of the season. After thePhillies loaded the bases later in the frame, Abraham Nunezbroke an 0-for-17 slump with an RBI single to left to make it4-2.

Geoff Geary (1-0), the second Philadelphia reliever, pitched the10th to earn his first victory and Antonio Alfonseca pitchedaround a two-out single by pinch hitter Julio Franco in the 11thfor his second save in three opportunities.

The first seven innings were a pitchers' duel between veteranlefthanders Jamie Moyer of the Phillies and Tom Glavine of theMets. The only scoring in that span were two-run singles by NewYork's Paul Lo Duca in the second Utley in the third.

Moyer allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings with twowalks and one strikeout.

Glavine remained at 295 career victories for the third straightouting despite seven strong innings. Like Moyer, he allowed tworuns and eight hits. Glavine walked one and struck out four.

Carlos Delgado walked and David Wright doubled to left-centerfield off Moyer in the second before both runners scored on asingle to center by Lo Duca.

The Phillies responded with two runs in the top of the third,beginning with a two-out infield single by Jimmy Rollins. ShaneVictorino doubled and Utley lined a two-run single to rightfield.

The Mets had runners on first and second with one out in thefifth, but Moyer got Carlos Beltran to pop out and Delgado tofly out. Beltran, who was back in the Mets lineup after missingthree games with a bruised knee, flied out to the warning trackwith two runners on to end the seventh.

A base-running miscue kept the Phillies from taking the lead inthe sixth. With runners on first and second with one out, AaronRowand lined a hard single to right field. Utley was held upby third base coach Steve Smith, but could have scored as thethrow by outfielder Carlos Gomez was up the line.

As Utley retreated, Pat Burrell headed to third before gettingcaught in a rundown for the second out. Nunez grounded out toend the inning.

Glavine had allowed a first-inning run in each of his last fourstarts, but retired the side in order on just nine pitches inthis one.
