Who cares about beauty? The Mets' nine-game losing streak against the reigning NL East champs is history. The Phillies committed four errors, two by injured Jimmy Rollins' replacement at shortstop, and starter Kyle Kendrick walked six to hand the Mets six unearned runs over the first three innings. And with an imperfect 100-pitch effort over five innings from Mike Pelfrey in his 2008 debut, coupled with scoreless contributions from Jorge Sosa, Pedro Feliciano and Carlos Muniz out of the maligned bullpen, the Mets beat Philadelphia, 8-2, on Wednesday night at Shea.
