NEW YORK, May 20 (UPI) -- Pat Burrell continued his career-long torment of the New York Mets Tuesday night when he homered twice and drove in four runs as the Philadelphia Phillies stormed back from a four-run deficit and posted an 11-7 victory.
Jim Thome added a two-run shot for Philadelphia, which was held in check by starter Jae Seo but feasted on the Mets' bullpen.
Burrell's solo blast off Seo in the top of the sixth inning got the Phillies on the board, but they trailed, 4-1, heading to the seventh.
David Weathers replaced Seo to start the inning, struck out pinch hitter Nick Punto and retired Placido Polanco on a lineout around a single by Jimmy Rollins. Thome walked but Weathers was one pitch from avoiding trouble when Burrell hit a 3-2 offering that just cleared the right field fence and tied it, 4-4.
Hitting just .213 heading into this three-game series, Burrell raised his career average against New York to .318 with 19 homers and 53 RBI.
Graeme Lloyd (1-1) relieved Weathers but gave up a single to Bobby Abreu, the only batter he faced. After Pat Strange came out of the bullpen, Abreu stole second, Mike Lieberthal walked and David Bell put the Phillies in front with an RBI single.
Ricky Ledee also walked and Punto produced another run with an infield hit. Jimmy Rollins followed with a two-run single but was thrown out at second to end the inning.
The rally made a winner of starter Brett Myers (4-3), who gave up four runs and four hits in six innings with three walks and a strikeout.
