PHILADELPHIA—Nick Castellanos hit a bloop ground-rule double down the right-field line to cap a sequence of four consecutive ninth-inning hits as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied from a two-run deficit for a 4–3 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.

Kyle Schwarber hit an eighth-inning solo home run for the Phillies, who can finish off a season- series sweep over San Diego on Wednesday. The Padres have now lost five consecutive games.
