The Phillies made it a game in the bottom of the ninth but were hit hard as the second half opened with an 8-3 loss to the visiting San Diego Padres. NBCSPhilly's CoreySeidman has the game recap.
They allowed four home runs and were overwhelmed by starter Yu Darvish, who struck out nine over six innings, allowing just a run on back-to-back doubles by Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm in the bottom of the fourth.
San Diego's offense pounded out six extra-base hits, building a three-run lead in the third inning and cruising to the victory. Gary Sanchez and Fernando Tatis Jr. homered in the third and Manny Machado added a solo shot in the sixth. Tatis' homer traveled 432 feet and nearly reached Harry the K's past the second deck in left field. Soto crushed a two-run shot to the deepest part of the park in center field in the ninth inning and trotted very slowly around the bases.
