Halladay, Phillies clobber Mets

PHILADELPHIA — The Mets’ visit to The Doc yesterday turned into an uncomfortable exam, complete with the rubber glove treatment.

The scary part was Roy “Doc” Halladay didn’t appear to have his best command or stuff. That didn’t stop the reigning NL Cy Young award winner from making the Mets look silly as they attempted to win a second straight road series before arriving at Citi Field today.

“[Halladay] is the type of guy where you don’t get to him, and he just gets stronger and stronger,” David Wright said after the Mets got stomped 11-0 by the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

BOX SCORE

The Mets (3-3) should erase this one from their collective memories. Nothing went right, a day after the Mets could at least take a shred of pride in the fact they overcame a seven-run deficit before losing 10-7 to the Phillies.

Jon Niese followed a strong start against the Marlins on Saturday with a dreadful performance, letting Halladay coast. Halladay fired seven shutout innings in which he allowed six hits, struck out seven and walked one. He is now 5-0 against the Mets since joining the Phillies last season.

The only good news for the Mets is they are finally home, ready to face the Nationals in the first game at Citi Field this season.

“We’ll finally have some people cheering us instead of booing us,” manager Terry Col lins said.

That might be wishful think ing on Collins’ part, but the Mets will at least have the op portunity to write the script. R.A. Dickey gets the start against Jordan Zimmermann.

As much as the Mets would have loved another series victory after winning two of three games in Florida over the weekend, they weren’t about to disparage a .500 road trip.

“As long as we can beat the people we’re supposed to beat,” Ike Davis said. “A .500 road trip to start the season, we’re not too down in the dumps right now.”

Considering they had to face Halladay and Florida’s Josh Johnson along the way, the record is respectable. But unacceptable is the manner in which Mike Pelfrey and Niese pitched over the final two games against the Phillies.

A day after Pelfrey couldn’t escape the third inning, Niese was finished after four. The lefty allowed six earned runs on eight hits, with seven strikeouts and one walk.

“They battled me good and put some good swings on mistakes,” Niese said. “I didn’t throw the ball necessarily where I wanted to, and they hit it wherever our guys weren’t.”

The Phillies seized control with four runs in the fourth. Placido Polanco’s two-run single followed an RBI double by Wilson Valdez, after the Phillies had already gotten a run on Carlos Ruiz’s RBI single. Valdez, a former infielder with the Mets, finished 4-for-4 with three RBIs.

The Mets had their best chance against Halladay in the third inning, when they loaded the bases. But Wright struck out and Davis was retired to end the inning. The Mets managed only two base runners against Halladay over his final four innings.

“That’s certainly not the way you want to go home and start your season at home,” Collins said. “But you sit back and try to look at the best side of it. We started on the road. We’re 3-3 and we’re going home and will get to play in our park for the first time. The energy will be rekindled.”
