Post game: Mets can’t solve the Red Menace. Phillies 5 Mets 2

It was Mike Pelfrey who took to the hill tonight to try to not only draw the Mets even in the series against the Phillies but also stop a 2 game losing streak.  Cole Hamels would attempt to stifle the potent Mets line-up. It would be a real pitchers duel until the eighth inning. The Mets …
