Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh each homered, while Jesus Luzardo tossed six shutout innings as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies blanked the San Diego Padres 3-0 on Monday.
Luzardo (4-4) worked in and out of trouble for half his stint, permitting four hits and a pair of walks while fanning six in a 104-pitch effort. Three relievers finished up, with Jhoan Duran getting the last three outs for his 10th save of the year and 100th of his career.
Griffin Canning (0-3) was a tough-luck loser, pitching a season-high 6 2/3 innings and allowing just three runs on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts. But San Diego went hitless in 10 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
Four of those came in the bottom of the first after Fernando Tatis Jr. and Miguel Andujar led off with singles. Shortstop Trea Turner bobbled Xander Bogaerts’ potential double play grounder for an error that filled the bases with no outs.
But Luzardo bailed Turner out by fanning Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill, then inducing an inning-ending grounder from Nick Castellanos.
In the third, Tatis singled and Andujar walked before Bogaerts’ grounder to short forced Andujar at second. Luzardo squashed the rally by getting Machado to ground into a 6-4-3 double play. Andujar killed a fifth-inning threat with a double play ball after Rodolfo Duran was hit by a pitch and Tatis walked.
Meanwhile, Canning cruised along for most of the day, except when facing Schwarber. The MLB home run leader lined his MLB-high 21st over the right field wall with one out in the first, then walked in the fourth.
Schwarber started the seventh with a single, followed by a Bryce Harper walk. Canning coaxed a double play grounder from Alec Bohm but Marsh pulled a 2-0 slider an estimated 368 feet over the right field wall for his fifth homer.
Tatis and Ty France each collected two of San Diego’s five hits. In the last two games, Tatis has reached base seven times but not scored a run.
