SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jerome Williams stifled San Diego over seven innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Padres 5-3 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
The Phillies notched their 16th win in 21 games, the majors’ best mark since the All-Star break.
Williams (4-8) entered the game with an 0-6 road record this season before dominating the fading Padres. He was charged with one run and five hits and struck out three.
Ken Giles worked the ninth to collect his sixth save in nine chances.
The Padres matched their season-high with the sixth straight loss and they have dropped seven of their last eight.
