FLUSHING, N.Y. - Lately, if the Mets are reeling, the Phillies are the fix.

Hamstrung by injury and listing like a leaky barge, the Mets jumped on Phillies starter Severino Gonzalez and the middle of the Phillies bullpen to open the teams' third series of the season with a 6-3 win.

It was hardly hard to predict.

The Phillies had lost five of their previous six games against the Mets, including a sweep at Citi Field in the first road series of the season.
