May 9
A rough week for the Phillies (2-5) drops them to 18-13, which is still good for first place in the NL East.
May 2: Padres 6, Phillies 1. Eddie Williams had three hits and drove in five runs in the Padres win. Sloppy defense doomed the Phillies again, as they committed four errors in the loss.
May 3: Padres 8, Phillies 4. The Padres took a 6-0 lead early and never looked back. Bobby Munoz returned to the major league roster and took the loss, making it through only three innings.
May 4: Padres 2, Phillies 1. Tommy Greene pitched six scoreless innings, but Toby Borland immediately allowed a game-tying homer in the seventh, followed by the go-ahead run. The Phillies had 15 baserunners, but only scored once.
May 5: Marlins 4, Phillies 1. Chris Hammond shut down the Phillies this time, allowing one run in eight innings. The Marlins put up four against Ben Rivera to extend the Philadelphia losing streak to four games.
May 6: Phillies 8, Marlins 6. Curt Schilling gave up six runs in just three innings, and it looked like the Phillies were on their way to another defeat before the offense finally came alive. Dave Hollins' two-run single in the eighth inning put the team ahead, and the bullpen managed six scoreless frames.
May 7: Phillies 4, Marlins 3. Jim Eisenreich and Wes Chamberlain drove in runs in the eighth inning to help the Phillies come from behind. Danny Jackson got his fourth win, and Doug Jones his tenth save.
May 8: Marlins 10, Phillies 2. Munoz was pummeled once again, allowing seven runs in four innings. Terry Matthews pitched a complete game for Florida, allowing two runs.
Munoz was returned to the minors after the game; Bob Gaddy joined the team as a long reliever, with Jeff Juden likely to return to the rotation to replace Munoz in a few days.
