PHILADELPHIA (AP) Peter Bourjos drove in the winning run on an infield single with two outs in the 11th inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Wednesday night.

Yoenis Cespedes and Lucas Duda hit consecutive homers and Neil Walker had four hits for the Mets.

Freddy Galvis hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, who avoided a three-game sweep. Jeanmar Gomez (2-0) tossed two scoreless innings for the win.

Galvis ripped a one-out double to right off Hansel Robles (0-1) with one out in the 11th.

A few batters later, Bourjos hit a sharp bouncer down the third-base line. David Wright made a backhanded grab but the speedy ninth-place hitter easily beat the throw and Galvis scored.

Players from Philadelphia's dugout ran out and jumped on him to celebrate.
