Jackson Merrill broke out of a slump with two home runs off All-Star Zack Wheeler, and Manny Machado hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh inning for the San Diego Padres, who won their second straight game against the Philadelphia Phillies,

Jackson Merrill was enduring the worst slump of his lift. He was 3-for-42, nary an extra-base hit to be found. Through it all Padres manager Mike Shildt said he knew his 22-year-old superstar would eventually snap out of it.

Manny Machado's sacrifice fly snapped a tie in the bottom of the seventh inning on Saturday as the San Diego Padres clinched a series win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-4 decision.
