The Phillies took two of three to win the season series 5-2. It was a rematch of the NL Championship series, which Philadelphia won in five games.
SAN DIEGO — Kyle Schwarber hit another eye-popping home run at Petco Park — this one a 465-foot leadoff shot almost halfway up the batter's eye beyond the center field wall — and Zack Wheeler and three relievers combined to three-hit San Diego's high-priced offense as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Padres 5-1 on Wednesday.
Schwarber drove a 2-1 pitch from Michael Wacha for his 41st overall and 10th leadoff homer of the season, breaking Jimmy Rollins’ franchise record of nine in 2007. J.T. Realmuto also homered and Bryce Harper hit a two-run double to end an 0-for-20 skid. That was more than enough to back Wheeler , who held the Padres' wildly inconsistent offense to one hit in six innings while striking out seven and walking two.Wheeler retired the first 11 Padres batters before walking Juan Soto and allowing a broken-bat bloop single to Manny Machado. Xander Bogaerts grounded out to end the threat.
The Phillies loaded the bases after Schwarber's homer but failed to add on. Alec Bohm doubled, Harper walked and Nick Castellanos singled. Bryson Stott hit a fly ball to right field but Fernando Tatis Jr.'s strong throw home kept Bohm from trying to score. Wacha then struck out Realmuto and Brandon Marsh.
