Steve Arlin pitched hitless ball for 8 2/3 innings before his bid for a no-hitter was wrecked as the Padres' righthander defeated the Phillies, 5-1. With a count of one ball and two strikes, Denny Doyle bounced a single over the head of third baseman Dave Roberts.

Upset by the hit, Arlin balked and then yielded a run-scoring single by Tommy Hutton to deprive himself of a shutout. Nate Colbert batted in three runs for the Padres with a double and homer. [The Sporting News]
