Brandon Phillips broke the Cincinnati Reds’ record for homers by a second baseman Wednesday, hitting a two-run shot during a 7-0 victory that ended the New York Mets’ five-game winning streak. Right-hander Tom Shearn (2-0), a 30-year-old rookie relishing his long-awaited trip to the big leagues, gave up only three hits in six innings to a Mets lineup missing five of its regulars.
