Phillies Phinally get one from the Mets.

Jayson Werth took a big gamble that paid off for the Philadelphia Phillies.

The right fielder saved his team with a diving catch, moments before Chase Utley’s second homer of the game sent Philadelphia to a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets in 11 innings Wednesday night.

With a speedy runner on first and two outs in the 10th, Werth made a sensational grab of David Wright’s sinking liner in the right-center gap.

If the ball gets by him, Fernando Martinez probably scores the winning run. But rather than play it safe and glove the ball on a hop, Werth went all out.

“It was just one of those deals where I thought it was worth it,” he said. “When the ball came out of the lights I thought, ohh, it’s much closer than I expected. When I dove for it, I didn’t expect to catch it.”

Somehow he did, and then Utley led off the 11th with his 15th home run.

His third homer in two nights that nestled into the right-field corner at spacious Citi Field came on the second pitch from Bobby Parnell (2-1), handing the hard-throwing rookie his first big league loss.

It’s the only home run Parnell has allowed in 29 career innings.

“Fastball in. The pitch he was looking for,” Parnell said. “He’s a good hitter. That’s the pitch he wanted and that’s what he wanted to do with it.”

Utley had a testy exchange earlier in the game with Mets starter Mike Pelfrey, who got annoyed when the slugger stepped out of the box.

“I was ready to make a pitch and he called timeout,” Pelfrey said. “I got upset and told him to get in the box. I don’t even know the guy. I was just trying to compete and execute a pitch.

“I got caught up in the moment. I probably shouldn’t have said anything.”

Utley downplayed the whole thing.

“It seemed like he got a little frustrated. I wasn’t trying to frustrate him. I was just trying to have a good at-bat,” Utley said.

New York built a three-run lead against World Series MVP Cole Hamels, who faced the Mets for the first time since calling them “choke artists” in the offseason—the latest in a series of verbal barbs between the NL East rivals.

But the Phillies rallied to tie it 4-all in the seventh against Pelfrey and the New York bullpen. The Mets have lost six times this season after leading by at least three runs.

Chan Ho Park (2-1) worked two scoreless innings for the win—with help from Werth. Subbing for injured closer Brad Lidge(notes), Ryan Madson got three quick outs for his third save.

The Mets stranded a season-high 16 runners, eight from innings seven through 10. Still, they nearly won it in the 10th on Wright’s liner.

“If he hadn’t of caught it, the guy would have scored,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.

Wright, who had three hits and two stolen bases, yanked off his helmet in frustration at first base after Werth’s diving catch. Wright also made a key error in the seventh.

Jimmy Rollins went 0 for 5 with an RBI for the Phillies in his return to the leadoff spot after two games batting sixth. Philadelphia is 6-3 on a 10-game trip, improving to a major league-best 22-9 away from home.

New York dropped to 18-10 at Citi Field with only its fourth loss in 16 home games. The Mets are 4-2 against Philadelphia this season, but they trail the first-place Phillies by three games.

It was Philadelphia’s first win in four games at New York’s new home.

“Every game we play with them is big. It’s a rivalry. Everything about it is good,” Manuel said. “We like to play them and they like to play us. We’re pretty even teams.”

Coming off a five-hit shutout of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Hamels allowed four runs in five innings. He gave up 11 hits, matching a career high.

“I have better things to worry about in my life than to worry about Cole Hamels and what he said,” Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran said. -yahoo.com

Tell me it’s not nice being a fan of this Team that we have built here.  We have so many offensive weapons that step up to the plate you never know who’s going to knock it out of the park.  And all throughout our line-up even on our DH bench we have that threat.  Good to see the Phillies give up so many hits but still able to pull out the Win in the end.  Nice game very much deserved win let’s hope we can steal another one here tonight as long as the rain holds out.
