NEW YORK (AP) -- Bartolo Colon kept his helmet on this time.
A day after his 42nd birthday, the rotund pitcher moved into a tie for the major league lead with his seventh win and singled for his second hit in a decade. The New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 Monday to stop a three-game losing streak.
''I wish I got cheers for a foul ball,'' teammate Michael Cuddyer said. ''He's must-see TV when he comes to the plate.''
Wilmer Flores hit a tiebreaking three-run shot off Justin De Fratus in the sixth inning for his career-best seventh homer this season.
