NEW YORK (AP) – Tom Glavine emerged from the oldest matchup of left-handed starters in major league history with his 292nd win.

Other than a pair of Jimmy Rollins homers, Mr. Glavine pretty much shut down the Phillies in a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia and Jamie Moyer on Thursday night.

Jose Reyes hit a two-run, fourth-inning single that turned a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 lead, and Moises Alou had three hits.

Mr. Glavine (2-1) allowed three runs and four hits, struck out four, walked three and helped out with two important sacrifices. The defending NL East champion Mets took two of three in their first series against Philadelphia, which finished second last year and is looking for bigger things this season.

Mr. Alou scored in the second inning when third baseman Wes Helms threw wildly to first on Mr. Glavine’s bunt down the line. Mr. Glavine’s second sacrifice advanced runners to second and third in the fourth, and Mr. Reyes followed with his go-ahead hit,

Billy Wagner got three outs for his second save and the 326th of his career, tying Roberto Hernandez for 10th on the career list.

Mr. Rollins, who boasted in spring training that the Phillies were the team to beat in the NL East, drove in three runs as the Shea Stadium crowd continued to boo him every time he came to the plate.

Jamie Moyer (1-1) allowed four runs, three earned, and four hits in six innings for the Phillies, who have lost seven of their first nine.

Messrs. Moyer and Glavine hooked up in the oldest matchup of lefty starters (85 years, 163 days) in major league history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Yankees’ Tommy John and White Sox pitcher Jerry Reuss on May 2, 1988, were the previous record holders (83 years, 299 days).

It’s unlikely that Messrs. Glavine and Moyer have pitched in much colder ones. The gametime temperature was 44 degrees after it rained for much of the day, and there were puddles on each dugout. Many of the fans pulled the hoods on their coats and sweatshirts tight around their ears and sat with their arms folded to keep warm.

Both pitchers struggled early. Mr. Glavine went to 3-1 on Rollins, who hit his 18th leadoff homer. Glavine then walked three of the next four hitters but catcher Paul Lo Duca threw out Shane Victorino trying to steal second and Mr. Helms ended the inning by striking out with two on.

Mr. Moyer allowed three straight singles starting the bottom half, with Carlos Beltran’s hit tying it at 1. But Moyer struck out Carlos Delgado and got David Wright to ground into an inning-ending double play to limit the damage.

Mr. Wright bounced back in the seventh. He hit a one-out triple to extend his career-best hitting streak to 21 games and scored on Alou’s single.
