Placido Polanco homered and had three hits while Chase Utley banged out a two-run shot and doubled as the Phillies launched a 15-hit attack against five New York pitchers.
Philadelphia starter Jaime Moyer (3-2) labored through six innings, allowing five runs on six hits, but pitched well enough to gain the victory.
Mets ace Santana was rocked for 10 runs on eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings.
David Wright connected on a three-homer and Rod Barajas added a solo shot in New York's loss.
