Sweep? That’s what’s in: Phillies 8, Padres 6

The Phillies clubbed three home runs and Taijuan Walker was just good enough in his season debut to win Sunday’s game 8-6 over the Padres and sweep the series on the road. Bryson Stott had his first multi-home run game, collecting a pair of two run shots to lead the way on offense. Walker was good through six innings before faltering in the seventh, but the bullpen held on, and the offense added insurance to protect the lead.

Stott’s first home run came in the top of the second and gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead.
