 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Facing a potent Phillies lineup, John Maine again was at his best. Maine dominated Philadelphia and Carlos Beltran homered twice, helping the New York Mets complete a sweep of a day-night doubleheader with a 5-2 victory Friday night. Damion Easley also connected for the NL East-leading Mets, who moved five games ahead of the Phillies.
In the opener, Carlos Delgado and Jose Reyes homered to back a strong outing from Orlando Hernandez and the Mets held on for a 6-5 win.
Maine (9-4) allowed two runs — one earned — and four hits in eight-plus innings to improve to 4-0 with a 2.13 ERA in six career starts against Philadelphia. He struck out six and had no walks.
