Following an out, David Wright singled and Eric Campbell walked to load the bases.Duda then lined Bastardo's first pitch sharply into right field to score Granderson. Justin De Fratus relieved Bastardo and got the final two outs.Dana Eveland (1-1) retired the Phillies in order in the 10th for the win. Jeurys Familia earned his second save in six opportunities but had to wriggle out of a two-out jam to get it.Ryan Howard singled and Marlon Byrd walked to put runners on first and second for Domonic Brown. But Familia got Brown to ground out to shortstop.Regular Mets closer Jenrry Mejia wasn't available after a heavy workload the previous two nights, manager Terry Collins said before the game.Carlos Ruiz homered for the Phillies, who dropped to 12-48 when scoring three runs or less.Hamels continued his dominant stretch but didn't get anything to show for it. The left-hander allowed one run and five hits in seven innings with five strikeouts and three walks. Hamels has a 0.73 ERA in his last five starts but is 3-1. It was the ninth no-decision for Hamels (6-6), who has been a victim of lack of run support this season.The Mets scored in the fifth off Hamels, snapping his 22-inning steak without allowing an earned run. New York loaded the bases with no outs on singles by Duda and Juan Lagares sandwiched around a walk to Travis d'Arnaud.Duda then scored on Wilmer Flores' hard-hit grounder. Third baseman Cody Asche lunged to stop the ball, but elected to throw to second rather than attempt to get Duda at home. Hamels threw up his hands in disgust after the run crossed.The Phillies tied it in the seventh on Ruiz's two-out homer to left. It was Ruiz's third homer of the season and first since June 7.That was one of three hits the Phillies got off Gee, who struck out four and walked three in seven strong innings. It was a turnaround outing for Gee, who was 0-3 with a 6.85 ERA in his last four starts.Besides Ruiz, Philadelphia got just one runner to second base off Gee. Brown advanced on Ruiz's second-inning single.Jake Diekman pitched a scoreless eighth, Jonathan Papelbon tossed a 1-2-3 ninth, and Ken Giles struck out two in the 10th for the Phillies.Josh Edgin and Vic Black combined to allow one hit in two scoreless relief innings before turning the ball over to Eveland.New York's Daniel Murphy went 0-for-5, snapping his streak of five straight multi-hit games.
