PHILADELPHIA -- Daniel Murphy hit a go-ahead double in the 13th inning after making a spectacular defensive play to end the 10th, leading the New York Mets over Philadelphia for their seventh-straight win.
Reliever Carlos Torres led off the 13th with a single, Curtis Granderson singled and both scored on Murphy's hit off Hector Neris (2-2).
With two outs in the 10th, Jeff Francoeur hit a hard shot that deflected off Torres' leg. Murphy made a diving stop at first base, then flipped a backhanded, no-look toss toward the bag that the hustling Torres caught as he beat Francoeur by a half-step.
Torres (5-5) pitched 2 1-3 scoreless innings for the Mets, who held their 6 1/2-game lead over Washington in the NL East.
