Wright’s hit in 9th wins it as Mets beat Phils 6-5

David Wright singled off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Mets to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night that preserved R.A. Dickey’s 11-game winning streak.

Daniel Murphy lined a shot off Papelbon’s leg for the tying run with two outs, setting the stage for Wright.

Cole Hamels outlasted Dickey in a matchup of All-Stars that fizzled from the start. Hounded by recent trade rumors, Hamels pitched seven gritty innings and had two hits. But the Phillies’ suspect bullpen couldn’t finish off the win after beating the Mets on Wednesday night.

Ike Davis began the ninth with a double off Papelbon (2-3). Josh Thole sacrificed pinch-runner Ronny Cedeno to third before Kirk Nieuwenhuis struck out. Papelbon then hit Jordany Valdespin with a 3-2 pitch and walked Ruben Tejada on a full-count to load the bases.
