Young (1-0), making his first start with New York, helped himself by going 3-for-3, including two hits in a six-run third inning that broke the game open against Phillies starter Cole Hamels (0-1).

Wright opened the scoring with a two-run single in the third and Ike Davis, Brad Emaus and Young followed with RBI singles as the Mets beat Hamels for the fifth straight time.
