PHILADELPHIA, July 5 (UPI) -- Damion Easley had three hits, drove in a run and scored twice Saturday to lead the New York Mets past Philadelphia 0-4.

The Mets trailed 4-3 after seven innings but scored three runs in the eighth and three more in the ninth.

Brian Schneider belted a go-ahead two-run, pinch-hit double in the eighth. Two runs scored on errors and one scored on Tom Gordon's wild pitch in the ninth.

Marlon Anderson and Endy Chavez had one RBI apiece, while Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado both went 2 for 5 for the Mets, who won for the third time in their last five games.

The winning pitcher was reliever Pedro Feliciano (1-2).

Philadelphia built a 4-3 lead on Ryan Howard's fourth-inning three-run homer and Jayson Werth's seventh-inning RBI single. The Phillies had a four-game win streak snapped.

The losing pitcher was reliever J.C. Romero (4-2).
