Shane Victorino belted a three-run homer to cap a six-run fourth inning and Roy Halladay recorded his third complete game of the season as the Philadelphia Phillies snapped the New York Mets' eight-game win streak with a 10-0 triumph on Saturday.
Victorino's blast was more than enough for Halladay (5-1), who rebounded from his first loss of the season to shut down the Mets. The 32-year-old right-hander allowed just three hits and struck out six en route to his 52nd career complete game.
Raul Ibanez ripped a two-run triple, Juan Castro had a two-run double and Jayson Werth added a pair of RBI singles to power the Phillies, who rebounded from a 9-1 loss to New York on Friday.
Chase Utley added three hits as Philadelphia posted just its fifth win in its last 13 contests.
Werth opened the scoring with a bloop run-scoring single to shallow right field in the fourth inning. Werth's single ended Mike Pelfrey's consecutive scoreless streak at 27 - dating back to his season debut against the Washington Nationals on April 9.
Pelfrey (4-1), who entered the game with a major league-best 0.69 ERA, allowed six runs and eight hits in four innings. After this outing, the 26-year-old right-hander's ERA ballooned to 2.40.
