Sánchez Carves the Padres Again as the Phillies Win 3-2

Phillies 3, Padres 2. Cristopher Sánchez carves up San Diego, eight strikeouts over seven innings, and his left-handed scoreless-innings record ends at fifty and two-thirds on a Jackson Merrill single in the seventh. Adolis García's fifth-inning double opens the scoring, then Realmuto and Schwarber go back to back in the seventh off Jason Adam, Schwarber's M.L.B.-leading twenty-third. Trea Turner saves a run with a barehanded play in the eighth, Brad Keller plunks Bogaerts with the bases loaded to make it close, and Jhoan Duran slams the door for the save. Two in a row over the Padres, a half-game out of the wild card.
