At a hushed Citi Field on Thursday night, before only a few hundred fans, the Philadelphia Phillies achieved a decisive 16-1 triumph over the inept New York Mets. The Phillies established their lead dramatically in the opening inning, scoring eight runs fueled by the contributions of Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley, while Ryan Howard later added a grand slam to complete the overwhelming victory.
