Summary
Bryce Harper’s fourth-inning, two-run shot tied the game at 2-2 and gave him 377 career homers, moving him past Carlton Fisk on the all-time list.
Alec Bohm’s sixth-inning double-play grounder plated the go-ahead run, and Jhoan Duran struck out the side in a perfect ninth for his 13th save.
Aaron Nola kept Philadelphia in it with five innings, eight strikeouts and no walks, allowing only Gavin Sheets’ two-run homer before Jose Alvarado got the win.
San Diego threatened late, but Fernando Tatis Jr. was erased in a rundown after a baserunning mistake in the eighth; Tatis still had three hits, and Jase Bowen logged his first career hit.
Philadelphia next turns to Cristopher Sánchez, who carries a franchise-record 44 2/3 scoreless innings into Wednesday’s start.
