In Friday's win in San Diego, the Phillies needed four solo home runs to rally from a 3-0 deficit to claim a 4-3 win. On Saturday, they used timely hitting to take the early lead and pad it late to continue their hot streak.
Odubel Herrera and Cesar Hernandez had key RBI hits in the game, helping the Phillies claim another series and win their 15th game in 20 since the All-Star Break, defeating the San Diego Padres, 4-2, at Petco Park. The win also moved the Phillies out of a tie with the Miami Marlins for the worst record in baseball.
