Snchez's shutout streak ends at 50 2/3 innings, Phillies get pair of HRs in
3-2 win over Padres

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Cristopher Snchez ran his consecutive shutout innings
streak to 50 2/3 before allowing a run and earned the win after J.T. Realmuto
and Kyle Schwarber homered in the seventh inning, leading the Philadelphia
Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.
Jhoan Duran worked a scoreless ninth for his 14th save.
Snchez's streak ranks as the third-best overall dating to the start of the
Live Ball Era in 1920 behind the Los Angeles Dodgers' Orel Hershiser, with a
record 59 straight scoreless innings in 1988, and Don Drysdale with 58 in 1968.
With a scoreless first inning against the Padres, Snchez topped Hall of Famer
Carl Hubbell's mark of 45 1/3 in 1933 for longest by a left-hander.
Snchez (7-2) breezed through six scoreless innings against the Padres before
allowing a two-out double in the seventh to Ty France. Snchez allowed an RBI
single to lefty-swinging Jackson Merrill that scored France and accounted for
the only run he allowed since the end of April.
Snchez stood on the mound and finally cracked a smile and fidgeted with the
bill of his cap after a nearly minute-long standing ovation from 40,453
Phillies fans. He finished with eight strikeouts.
Snchez last allowed two runs in the first inning of a 3-2 victory over the
Giants on April 30.
Snchez got the run support he needed for the win in the bottom of the seventh
when Realmuto and Schwarber hit solo homers off Padres reliever Jason Adam
(2-1) to make it 3-1.
Adolis Garcia, struggling mightily and batting .193 in his first season as Nick
Castellanos' replacement in right field, laced an RBI double to center off
Padres starter Walker Buehler in the fifth for the 1-0 lead.
Phillies reliever Brad Keller drilled Xander Bogaerts with the bases loaded in
the eighth inning to make it 3-2.
