The Padres took a 6-4 lead in the top of the fifth inning. The Phillies led 8-6 after the bottom of the fifth and extended their lead to 9-6 in the sixth and 10-6 in the seventh. Mike Clevinger gave up three runs and Sean Manaea five, Clevinger without recording an out in the first inning and Manaea while getting four outs between the fourth and fifth inning.

Rhys Hoskins halved the Padres’ lead by sending a full-count fastball to the seats beyond left field. A walk by J.T. Realmuto and double by Bryce Harper brought Clevinger’s night to a close.
