Phillies 3, Padres 1
Roy Halladay tied a career high with 14 strikeouts and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies completed a four-game series sweep of the San Diego Padres with a 3-1 win on Sunday.
Halladay (3-1) allowed one run while giving up five hits and one walk in 8 2/3 innings for Philadelphia, which won its fifth straight game and 11th straight at Petco Park. He struck out six straight between the sixth and eighth innings.
Antonio Bastardo retired pinch hitter Nick Hundley with a runner on second for his first save.
The Phillies broke a scoreless tie in the sixth when Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard opened the inning with singles off San Diego starter Wade LeBlanc (0-1). After Ben Francisco knocked in one run with a single, John Mayberry Jr. followed with an RBI double.
Shane Victorino added an insurance run with an inside-the-park home run in the seventh.
LeBlanc allowed three runs on nine hits and four walks over eight innings for the Padres, who have lost six of their last seven.
San Diego, which was shut out in each of the first two games of the series, scored its lone run in the bottom of the ninth on a Will Venable RBI single.
