PHILADELPHIA (AP) Charlie Morton pitched sharply into the seventh, Odubel Herrera hit an RBI triple in the sixth and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 3-0 on Tuesday night.

Morton (1-1) allowed three hits, walked four and struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings for his first win with the Phillies.

Padres left-hander Robbie Erlin (1-1) retired the first 10 batters and didn't allow a hit until Freddy Galvis got a hard single to center with two outs in the fifth. He allowed one run, three hits and fanned seven in six innings.

Morton exited after issuing consecutive walks with two outs in the seventh. Hector Neris entered and struck out pinch-hitter Wil Myers on a splitter to end the inning.

David Hernandez worked the eighth and Jeanmar Gomez finished for his third save in three tries.
