PHILADELPHIA — Yu Darvish came out of the All-Star break strong, and so did the Padres’ offense.
The Padres were able to survive Luis García continuing his first-half command struggles.
Six innings from Darvish and home runs by Gary Sánchez, Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado and Juan Soto did the bulk of the damage, and Josh Hader closed out an 8-3 victory over the Phillies Friday night in the first game of what is traditionally called the second half of the season.
