Phillies End Nine-Game Slide With Champion Victory
Phillies rookie Maury Champion silenced the Dodgers on five hits to post a 3-0 win, snapping Philadelphia’s nine-game losing streak. Champion, 21, notched his first major league victory despite a shaky early spring, fanning Willie Crawford to seal the win after Haller and Sudakis put two on with two out in the ninth. Callison and Money supplied the early offense with a first-inning double and RBI single, while Callison and Johnson added the final run.
