Brad Miller homered twice and the first-place Philadelphia Phillies withstood a ninth-inning rally for their seventh straight victory, 5-3 over the sinking New York Mets on Saturday.

Odubel Herrera hit a three-run homer and doubled for the Phillies, who increased their NL East lead over New York to 1 1/2 games. Atlanta also was 1 1/2 back pending Saturday night’s game against Washington.

It is Philadelphia’s longest winning streak since September 2012.
