    Two big swings by Ryan Howard made it a comfortable night on the mound for rookie fill-in Vance Worley.

    Howard hit two homers, including a grand slam, and drove in six runs to back six scoreless innings by Worley and lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 10-3 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night.

    "Just got ready, saw it and put good swings on," Howard said. "Obviously it's a good night, but I don't get too high or too low."

    Howard launched a two-run shot into the second deck in right field off starter Mike Pelfrey in the fourth inning to give Philadelphia a 2-0 lead. After making contact, Howard dropped his bat and stared in admiration for a couple of seconds at the 427-foot drive before trotting around the bases.

    "I hit that one pretty square, knew pretty much it was going to go," Howard said. "It was just a matter of where and how far."
