Steve Carlton raised his record to 6-0 and notched his 255th career victory and 3,025th strikeout -- fifth on the all-time list -- as the Phillies defeated the Padres, 9-6. The Phils tallied four runs in the first inning on a three-run homer by Gary Matthews and a solo round-tripper by Garry Maddox. They added a run in the fourth on a triple by Maddox and double by Larry Bowa and made it 6-0 in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Matthews. [The Sporting News]
