Phillies edge Padres 3-2 in home opener as Nola shines and Harper delivers

Philadelphia defeated San Diego 3-2 in the home opener, with Aaron Nola fanning eight over five innings and Bryce Harper delivering a two-run homer to answer an early Gavin Sheets shot; the go-ahead run came on a Bohm double in the fourth, and the Phillies bullpen—Alvarado, Kerkering, Keller and Duran—held the Padres scoreless the rest of the way as Duran earned his 13th save. Padres rookie Jase Bowen collected his first major-league hit in the seventh, while Brandon Marsh went 4-for-4 to raise his average to .332; Christopher Sanchez is lined up to start tomorrow against Walker Buehler.
