SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Ranger Surez's scoreless streak ended at 32 innings but he
was otherwise brilliant through eight innings and Alec Bohm homered and drove
in four runs for the Philadelphia Phillies, who beat the San Diego Padres 5-1
Saturday night to win the weekend series.
Surez's scoreless streak, the longest in the majors this season and of his
career, ended when he allowed Eguy Rosario's two-out home run in the eighth
inning. Surez (5-0) allowed just three hits and struck out eight with no walks
to win his fifth straight start.
Surez threw 96 pitches. Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth.
The Padres have been punchless in the first two games of this series after
blowing a 9-4 lead at Colorado on Thursday and losing 10-9. They've lost three
straight for the second time in a span of 10 games.
Bohm extended his hitting streak to 11 games. He hit a two-run homer to left
field with two outs in the first, his fourth, and added a two-run single in the
three-run fifth. Both were off Dylan Cease.
It was the Phillies' sixth homer in the first two games of this series.
Cease (3-2) loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth and walked Bryce Harper
to make it 3-0. Bohm followed with a two-run single to right. Trea Turner had
three hits and scored on both of Bohm's big hits.
Cease allowed five runs and six hits in six innings, struck out five and walked
three.
