Bryson Stott homered twice and J.T. Realmuto added a two-run home run as the Philadelphia Phillies completed a road sweep of the San Diego Padres with an 8-6 victory Sunday.
Taijuan Walker (1-0) got the win in his first start of the year, lasting 6 1/3 innings and allowing six runs off eight hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Three relievers brought it home, with Jose Alvarado striking out two in the ninth for his fifth save.
The Phillies have won four in a row and 11 of 13.
Michael King (2-3) was tagged with the loss after allowing six hits and six runs in 5 1/3 innings, walking three and fanning six. It was San Diego's season-high fourth straight loss.
King's biggest problem was the home run ball. Stott nailed him in his first two at-bats, drilling a two-run homer in the second to start the scoring and repeating the feat in the fourth to put Philadelphia ahead for good at 4-3.
Realmuto unloaded his blast in the sixth after Alec Bohm led off with a single, upping the Phillies' lead to 6-3. Realmuto added an RBI single in the seventh and Johan Rojas doubled home a run in the eighth.
The Padres led briefly in the third after an RBI double by Fernando Tatis Jr. and a two-run homer by Jake Cronenworth.
Luis Campusano pinch-hit in the seventh and knocked Walker out of the game with a three-run blast to left-center to trim the Padres' deficit to 7-6 before the Phillies held on.
Bohm continued his torrid hitting by going 3-for-5 with two doubles, upping his average to .365. Realmuto, Stott and Kyle Schwarber also collected two hits apiece for Philadelphia.
Cronenworth and Jurickson Profar each notched two hits for the Padres.
