Phillies fall hard to Orioles in 19 3 defeat
The Phillies endured a lopsided 19 3 loss to Baltimore as outfielder Jeff Francoeur pitched two innings throwing 48 pitches. The bullpen phone was reportedly off the hook delaying relief efforts and forcing the dugout to wave towels to summon help. Francoeur finished the bottom of the eighth after Justin De Fratus was ejected for throwing at a batter.
