The Phillies lineup was absent four regulars on Sunday. They had their No. 5 pitcher on the mound. None of that mattered as their winning week continued.
The Phillies topped the Arizona Diamondbacks, 6-0, at Citizens Bank Park to win their fifth straight game. It marked the team's first five-game winning streak since July 7-11, 2014. A win on Monday at Colorado would give the Phillies their first six-game streak since 2012.
Maikel Franco, who joined the team on Friday from triple A, crushed his first major-league home run in the eighth inning. He drove a first-pitch slider to left field.
