The Phillies’ Jerome Williams of Hawaii dominated the Padres for his fourth win of the season.

SAN DIEGO » The Philadelphia Phillies are on such a roll even Jerome Williams won on the road.

The Waipahu grad stifled San Diego over seven innings and the Phillies beat the Padres 5-3 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.

“It’s going really well right now,” Williams said. “We just want to keep it going.

The Phillies notched their 16th win in 21 games, the majors’ best mark since the All-Star break.

Williams (4-8) entered the game with an 0-6 road record this season before dominating the fading Padres. He was charged with one run and five hits and struck out three.

“I just kept the ball down in the zone,” Williams said. “If I consciously keep the ball down I get my ground balls. Then if I do throw one up in the zone I have them so conscious of looking down they miss the pitch.”
