Kyle Schwarber homered and drove in three runs, Bryce Harper added a home run and double and the host Philadelphia Phillies defeated the San Diego Padres 9-4 to sweep a day-night doubleheader on Saturday.
The Phillies won the opener 6-4.
Johan Rojas added three hits and two RBIs, while Trea Turner had two hits and an RBI. Bryson Stott also contributed two hits to go along with two runs.
Phillies starter Taijuan Walker (11-3) tossed five innings and gave up four hits and two runs with three walks and three strikeouts. It was the seventh consecutive victory for Walker.
Juan Soto had two hits and an RBI and Trent Grisham added an RBI single for the Padres.
Padres starter Ryan Weathers (1-6) allowed six hits and four runs with two walks and two strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.
The Padres went ahead 1-0 in the first when Fernando Tatis Jr. hit an RBI groundout, with Stott making a diving stop at second base. Tatis would later leave the game in the sixth inning with an ankle injury.
Harper ripped a solo homer to center in the fourth to tie the game at 1. It was only Harper's fourth home run of the season and his first since May 25 -- a span of 166 plate appearances.

In the bottom of the fifth, Garrett Stubbs put down a bunt single and Rojas followed with a single of his own for his first major league hit. Schwarber then launched a three-run homer to right, and the Phillies went back ahead, 4-2.
