The Phillies' acquisition of Nino Espinosa from the the Mets continued to pay dividends when the righthander pitched a four-hitter and shut out the Padres, 2-0, for his third straight victory and the Phillies' 12th in their last 14 games.

The Phillies reached Gaylord Perry for a run in the first inning after two were out when Pete Rose and Greg Luzinski singled, Mike Schmidt walked and Garry Maddox was hit by a pitch to force in Rose. Again with two out, the Phillies added their other run in the second on singles by Bake McBride and Larry Bowa around a stolen base. [The Sporting News]
