Every time we win, we peel a section. *music plays*
The Phils won their second straight in San Diego, clinching yet another post All-Star Game series, and improving to an MLB-best 15-5 since the break. They also moved past the imploding Miami Marlins, into sole possession of fourth place in the NL East. Watch out, the Barves. We're coming for ya!
Anyway, back to tonight. Adam Morgan combined six innings of rocky shoals and smooth sailing, yielding both Padre runs, one earned, on six hits and a walk. He struck out four. Jeanmar Gomez and Luis Garcia each pitched a scoreless inning, and Ken Giles pitched a perfect ninth with two strikeouts to nail down the save.
