Phils rain on Padres

Didn’t take long for the Phils to get back on track and start a new winning streak.

All it took was the arrival of a dog-tired Padres team.

The Padres played an afternoon game Wednesday in San Diego, then flew across the country for a weekend series in D.C. with the Nationals. But once they got to D.C. they piled into a train and headed north to make up a game with the Phils that got rained out back in the spring.

Then the Phils rained hits on Padres starter Kevin Correia. He only went three and a third, giving up eight runs on nine hits, his shortest outing in 20 starts this year.

It was the Phils 15th win in their last 17 games, and puts them six and a half up on the second place Braves.

The Cardinals are in town for the weekend.
