Moises Alou homered twice and drove in three runs, Tom Glavine got his 293rd win and the Mets beat the Phillies 8-1 Tuesday night. Freddy Garcia allowed three runs and eight hits, striking out six in 4 2-3 innings. The two-time All-Star acquired from the White Sox in the offseason missed two starts with biceps tendinitis. Expected to contend for the NL East title, the Phillies are off to a 3-9 start, including 1-5 at home. Manager Charlie Manuel's frustration was evident after the game. The normally mild-mannered manager challenged a radio talk-show host to a fight. Manuel had to be restrained by coach Milt Thompson at one point. |
