The Phillies (16-23) white-washed the Arizona DBacks (15-21) on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, 6-0, giving them a sweep of the weekend series. In the process, the Phils extended their winning streak out to 5 games, matching their longest such streak of last season.

Sean O’Sullivan (1-2) was outstanding on the day, allowing just 5 hits and walking 2 over 6 innings. He threw 79 pitches with 52 of those for strikes. Luis Garcia, Ken Giles, and Jeanmar Gomez then each took turns tossing single shutout innings to nail it down.
