Walker, Turner lead Phillies past struggling Mets

PHILADELPHIA — Taijuan Walker pitched six strong innings, Trea Turner had a pair of RBIs and the Philadelphia Phillies took advantage of two defensive miscues by the New York Mets in a 5-1 victory Friday night.

Brandon Marsh had three hits, a double and an RBI for Philadelphia, which has won seven of nine.

"We're playing really well," Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said. "We just need to keep it going."

Bryce Harper also drove in a run for the Phillies before getting ejected in the seventh inning for arguing with home plate umpire Mike Estabrook after a called third strike.
