Walk Helps Phillies Edge Padres in 5-Run Win
Philadelphia starter Bob Walk pitched five solid innings to earn the win as the Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 5-? behind Greg Luzinski and Tim Flannery. Walk, recalled from Oklahoma City, improves to 2-0 with a 27.50 ERA as Dallas Green relies on patchwork pitching and farm-system call ups to weather injuries. Padres slump continues amid 1-8 road trip and 16 losses in 19 games, while manager Jerry Coleman insists no panic.
