PHILADELPHIA — Shane Victorino's bases-loaded walk off Sean Green with two outs in the 10th inning lifted the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-5 victory over the New York Mets today.
Green (0-2) retired the first batter he faced before Pedro Feliz reached on an infield single. Green hit pinch-hitter Matt Stairs with a pitch, but retired pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs on a fly ball.
After pinch-hitter Chris Coste walked to load the bases, Victorino, a St. Anthony High alum from Maui, walked on a 3-2 pitch to give the Phillies a split in the first two games of the series against their rival.
Jack Taschner (1-0) pitched out of trouble in the 10th, retiring Carlos Beltran on an inning-ending double-play grounder with runners at first and third.
