PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Pedro Feliz, Jimmy Rollins, Pedro Ruiz and Chase Utley had two hits and one RBI each Friday in Philadelphia's 4-2 victory over the New York Mets.

Utley's eighth-inning RBI double gave Philadelphia a 4-1 lead and provided security because New York came within two runs in the top of the ninth.

A seventh-inning sacrifice fly by Ruiz produced the eventual game-winning run.

Shane Victorino added three hits for the NL East-leading Phillies, who have won three of four.

The winner was starter Cole Hamels (9-9).

Brett Myers earned his seventh save despite giving up a run in the ninth.

New York's Luis Castillo hit a sacrifice fly.

A run scored on Cory Sullivan's ninth-inning double play groundout, and Jeff Francoeur had three hits for the Mets, who have lost seven of 10.

The losing pitcher was starter Nelson Figueroa (2-5).
