The complete-game pitching of Barry Lersch and Bill Champion featured the Phillies' sweep of a doubleheader with the Padres, 6-1 and 3-1. Lersch, making his first start of the season, allowed five hits. Champion, who scattered eight hits, marked his triumph in the nightcap by rapping his first major league homer.

Greg Luzinski collected three hits for the Phillies in each half of the twin bill. Nate Colbert drove in both of the Padres' runs with a homer in the first game and single in the second game. [The Sporting News]
