NEW YORK -- Right-handed pitcher Bartolo Colon threw eight shutout innings Monday night and singled and scored during a three-run fifth inning that lifted the New York Mets to a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday at Citi Field.
The Mets (73-58) won their second straight to ensure they would remain at least 5 1/2 games ahead of the Washington Nationals in the National League East.
