Following a disappointing loss in their home opener, the Phillies (3-5) bounced back with a 3-0 win Tuesday night over the Padres (3-5) in game two of their four-game series.
Both teams struggled to get anything going offensively, as both starters shut down the opposition. Phillies right-hander Charlie Morton bounced back nicely from his first start in a Phillies uniform by allowing just three hits, walking four and striking out seven over 6 2/3 innings-pitched.
Padres starter, left-hander Robbie Erlin, matched Morton pitch for pitch as he, too, allowed just three hits, struck out seven and allowed just one earned run over six innings-pitched.
