Although the Phillies smashed three homers, the Padres were able to gain a 5-4 victory with the aid of three unearned runs resulting from a wild throw by Darrell Brandon in the third inning. Cito Gaston batted in the Padres' two other tallies with a single in the fifth and double in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
