Herrera's big night lifts Phillies over Padres

SAN DIEGO -- The Phillies have a chance to sweep, after defeating the Padres, 4-2, Saturday night at Petco Park.

Adam Morgan earned his third win of the season, going six innings and allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits, with one walk and four strikeouts. The Phillies got on the board early, with Chase Utley and Odubel Herrera scoring in the first inning. Herrera knocked in the Phillies' third run with a ground-ball single to right field. The Phillies no longer have MLB's worst record, after their victory and a Marlins loss.
