Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (8-0) tossed five innings and gave up four hits and two runs, both unearned, to go along with three strikeouts and two walks.
J.D. Martinez had two hits, including a solo home run, and Mark Vientos and Tomas Nido each added two hits and an RBI for the struggling Mets, who fell for the fifth time in six games. Jeff McNeil contributed an RBI double.
