document: Phillies display a desire to win PHILADELPHIA - They remain the Fightin ' Phils . Beyond the talent , the monster signings , and even the big injuries , the Phillies have an incredible will to win , and they showed that again yesterday , coming up with a six-pack of singles in the ninth inning to score three runs to stun the Astros , 5-4 , at Citizens Bank Park in their opener , giving the Mets a glimpse of what awaits them next week . '' `` That was just desire to win , '' '' said Jimmy Rollins , who got the rally started with a single to right . This marked the Phillies ' first Opening Day walk-off win in 37 years . '' `` No one wanted to make that last out , '' '' the shortstop said . '' `` I think everyone personally felt that Roy -LSB- Halladay -RSB- did n't deserve to get a loss after a performance like that . '' '' After the strong outing from the Cy Young winner and the huge comeback , the Phillies have the comfort of knowing Cliff Lee will be on the mound tonight for the second game of the season . The Yankees , the team that Lee spurned because they were too old , in his mind , will be throwing the human question mark , A.J. Burnett , today in their second game . '' `` It 's good to have Cliff coming up -LSB- tonight -RSB- , '' '' Rollins said with a knowing smile . Halladay , who allowed only one run over six innings , said : '' `` With this team , there are never games when you feel like you 've lost hope . Games like today show you we are going to win as a team all year . That 's the only way we are going to achieve the goals we want to achieve . '' '' The Phillies have won the NL East four straight years and have delivered two pennants and one World Series victory over that span . They never panic . That is why their baseball lives have been so rewarding since the Mets ' Great Collapse while the Mets ' world has been so hopeless . With no Chase Utley -LRB- knee -RRB- at second , no Brad Lidge -LRB- shoulder -RRB- in the bullpen and no Jayson Werth in right , Werth 's replacement Ben Francisco bounced back from a bad day to rip an RBI single in the ninth . Young John Mayberry Jr. , who will see time in right , delivered the winning base hit , a line drive over the head of drawn-in center fielder Michael Bourn . Ex-Mets castoff Wilson Valdez also delivered an RBI-single against closer Brandon Lyon . All this happened after Philly fans , of course , started to boo . Rollins said one fan even jumped on the dugout and screamed that his American Legion team could do better . '' `` Everybody was a little panicked , '' '' Francisco said of the outside world 's reaction to the Utley injury and other problems going on around the Phillies , '' `` but we got good players here . '' '' Said Mayberry of his shaving-cream pie in the face day : '' `` This is the script I would have written . '' '' The Phillies forever remain the team to beat . '' `` We have a bull 's - eye on our back , '' '' Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said . After being beaten in the NLCS last October by the Giants , who went on to win the World Series , the Phillies are more determined than ever to win it all this season . They think they will with the addition of Lee . That 's what makes this baseball reality series so much more interesting than so many other teams . It only took one game for the Phils to deliver the magic formula again . Make no mistake , the Phillies work at their craft . Manuel is all about taking the right approach at the plate . In spring training , Rollins said , they worked daily in batting practice on hitting singles to get the runner home . The six singles did n't just happen . Rollins said this was the kind of Opening Day that memories are made of when you are a Phillie . He listed his top three Opening Day memories . '' `` We got the chance to open up the stadium , and we got the chance to get our rings , and then we got today , '' '' he said . And tonight they got Lee on the mound . Life is good in this part of the NL East . kevin.kernan@nypost.com
