Padres drop final game against Phillies

The San Diego Padres elected to use David Morgan against the Philadelphia Phillies in the top of the eighth inning. Morgan replaced Adrian Morejon, who had just allowed a one-out double to Bryce Harper.

Morgan recorded a strikeout of Nick Castellanos, but fell behind J.T. Realmuto. The veteran catcher took advantage of the count being in his favor and lined a double into the left-center gap that allowed Harper to score to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead en route to a win at Petco Park, Sunday.
