NEW YORK (AP)—Jerry Manuel was curious to see how his New York Mets would respond after a heartbreaking loss to Philadelphia.
They answered with two big wins.
Carlos Delgado hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth inning and Oliver Perez stifled the Phillies again, helping the Mets earn a 3-1 victory Thursday that gave them sole possession of first place in the NL East.
