MLB: Philadelphia 6, N.Y. Mets 5 (10 inn.)
Shane Victorino's bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 10th Saturday gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 6-5 victory against the New York Mets.
Victorino scored twice and was one of three Philadelphia players with two hits.
After New York used a three-run sixth to take a 5-4 lead, Raul Ibanez hit a solo homer in Philadelphia's turn in the bottom half of the inning to create a 5-5 tie and send the game into extra innings.
Ibanez, one of the three with two hits, also hit a first-inning sacrifice fly. Jimmie Rollins and starter Jamie Moyer had one RBI apiece for the Phillies, who had lost two in a row following a season-high five-game winning streak.
The winner was Jack Taschner (1-0).
New York's Daniel Murphy hit a solo homer in the sixth after a second-inning sacrifice fly.
The losing pitcher was Sean Green (0-2).
