PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Veteran Jamie Moyer allowed only one run over six innings as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 4-1 in a National League game on Saturday.

Moyer (7-6) checked the Mets on five hits to help the NL East-leading Phillies take their second consecutive game from the New Yorkers. The 46-year-old left-hander struck out one and walked one before leaving with one out in the seventh.

Jimmy Rollins drove in two runs with a fourth-inning double.

The Phillies scored their opening run on a sacrifice fly by Jayson Werth in the first and Rollins made it a 3-0 game with his extra-base hit to deep right field.

Losing pitcher Fernando Nieve (3-2) drove in the Mets' only run with a single in the fifth.

Shane Victorino, who added the Phillies' final run with a single in the sixth, and Pedro Feliz both had three hits for the World Series champions.
