NEW YORK, July 15 (UPI) -- John Mayberry made the most of his two hits with five RBI Friday in sending the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-2 triumph over the New York Mets.

Mayberry singled in two runs in the second and Philadelphia came up with another score in the inning when starting pitcher Vance Worley collected his first major league RBI with a single.

The Phillies won for the seventh time in nine games, getting a solo homer from Raul Ibanez in the sixth.
