PHILADELPHIA -- Key contributions from bench players helped the Philadelphia Phillies put a winning streak together. Pinch-hitter Reid Brignac lined a tiebreaking, two-run double in the sixth inning, John Mayberry Jr. hit a three-run homer and the Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 7-3 to complete a three-game sweep Thursday in a game played in steady rain. Brignac, whose three-run homer in the ninth sent the Phillies to a 3-0 victory a night earlier, hit a drive off Dale Thayer to the gap in left-centre for a 4-2 lead. Mayberry connected an inning later off Alex Torres. Making a spot start for Ryan Howard, Mayberry also doubled twice. "Its definitely a game of momentum and I think with the way weve played these last few games, that can definitely carry over." Mayberry said. "I think from top to bottom, weve pitched well, had timely hitting and played good defence. Hopefully we can continue." Kyle Kendrick (2-6) allowed one earned and seven hits, striking out five in six innings. He earned his second win in 20 starts, dating to last year. The Phillies have their first three game-winning streak since May 17-20 and recorded just their second series sweep this season. Ken Giles made his major league debut for the Phillies with two outs in the ninth. He threw a 100 mph fastball on his first pitch before Yasmani Grandal hit an opposite-field homer on a 3-1 pitch. "I just go out and pitch. Whatever it says, it says," Giles said of the radar gun. As for the homer, Giles said: "It looked like a routine fly ball to the warning track to me." Welcome to hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, kid. Padres starter Eric Stults (2-8) allowed four runs and eight hits in five-plus innings. Mayberry is batting .324 (12 for 37) with five doubles, three homers and 12 RBIs against lefties. Howard is hitting just .206 (12 for 63) with one double, four homers, 15 RBIs and 30 strikeouts vs. lefties. Manager Ryne Sandberg may have to consider a platoon at first, even though Howard is making $25 million per season through 2016 with a $23 million team option for 2017. "I see it pretty well (against lefties)," Mayberry said. "I think traditionally righties hit left-handers better obviously. Im just trying to take the same approach into every at-bat." Mayberry led off Philadelphias sixth with his second double. Domonic Brown lined a single to right on an 0-2 pitch, chasing Stults. Thayer came in to face Will Nieves, who hit a bouncer to third baseman Chase Headley. His high throw to the plate was in time to get Mayberry. Sandberg challenged the call, but a video review confirmed catcher Grandal tagged Mayberry before his foot touched the plate. Thayer then struck out pinch-hitter Howard. But Brignac followed with a shot to the wall to give the Phillies a two-run lead. Mayberry made it 7-2 with his fifth homer of the season in the seventh. Padres manager Bud Black won a replay challenge in the third inning when a video review showed Ben Revere was out at first base following a drag bunt. Jimmy Rollins hit an RBI single in Philadelphias first to move within two hits of breaking Mike Schmidts franchise record of 2,234. The Padres jumped on Kendrick for two runs in the first. Will Venable led off with a single and Everth Cabrera followed with a single, snapping an 0-for-23 slump. After Seth Smiths groundout, Headley hit an RBI double. Smith scored when right fielder Marlon Byrd bobbled the ball for an error and Headley went to third. Kendrick has a 9.00 ERA in the first inning and batters are hitting .393 against him. "I dont have an answer," Kendrick said. "Ive tried everything. Maybe next game I wont warm up." NOTES: Howard wasnt in the starting lineup vs. Stults, even though hes 2 for 2 with two homers off him. ... Kendrick became the first Phillies pitcher to draw a walk. ... The Padres lost for only the 12th time when having a lead at any point in a game. ... The Phillies open a three-game series against the Cubs on Friday night.

Winners of 15 straight, with a healthy roster, the Spurs have overtaken the Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder for the number one ranking.Manchester United should sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the summer transfer window to give them back their spark, says Graeme Souness. The charismatic striker is set to leave Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain at the end of June, and has previously hinted that he could make the move across the Channel to the Premier League.Although his agent told Sky Sports News HQ that United have not offered the 34-year-old a deal yet, Sky Sports pundit Souness thinks the Old Trafford hierarchy should be chasing him. Id certainly like to see him in the Premier League, Im a fan of his. I look at Man United and they need a spark, he said in a Sky Sports Facebook mentions broadcast.They need something to light a fire if they are not going to be in the Champions League. I can go back to George Best and Wille Morgan on the wings to David Beckham and Ryan Giggs.These people got you on the edge of your seat and United have not been that for a couple of years.Ibrahimovic would give you that. Hed get you on the edge of your seat and would that stadium and that pressure overawe him? Not at all. Zlatan Ibrahimovic confirms he is leaving PSG this summer after four years at the club I think he could be the catalyst for United to get back to somewhere where youre watching them play the kind of football that you associate with Manchester United - the football that got you on the edge of your seat.ddddddddddddPay him what he wants, which would be a shed load of money and youd certainly get one great year out of him and you might even get two great years out of him.United have relied heavily on young strikers Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford this season, but Souness doesnt think their development should be a factor in bringing Ibrahimovic to Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford has been relied on heavily in the latter months of Manchester Uniteds season I dont think its about blocking the development. He would be your main striker and you would fill in around him.United are not a club that can wait for people to become players. They have to have the finished article now and have to have success now so for me, that would be secondary.Its about getting someone on the pitch that can fire the supporters imagination and get the team playing again with the kind of arrogance, if you like, that Ive always associated with Man United. What next for Zlatan? Zlatan Ibrahimovic is leaving PSG - but which clubs would have a chance of signing him? An arrogance which, if youre playing against them, annoyed you, but as much of a neutral as I can be, theres a lot to enjoy about that as well.If theres someone that can show a bit of arrogance but can back it up, he certainly can.
