Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - David Wright homered and knocked in four runs, including the game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning, as the New York Mets edged the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, in the rubber match of a three-game set at Citi Field.

Scott Hairston also hit a home run for New York, which won for the sixth time in eight games.

Bobby Parnell (2-1) tossed a perfect top of the ninth to earn the win in relief of starter R.A. Dickey, who allowed five rune on a career-high tying 11 hits and a walk. Dickey also struck out seven and stretched his unbeaten streak to 14 straight starts.

Jonathan Papelbon (2-3) gave up a pair of runs on three hits and a walk in his second blown save of the season for the Phillies, who have dropped seven of their last eight.

Jimmy Rollins had three hits, two RBI and a run scored in a losing effort.
