They can thank Ryan Howard, who hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning, and a strong performance from the pitching staff for snapping the team's longest skid since an 11-game losing streak in September 1999.
The Orioles took three of four from the Phillies in this week's home-and-home series, but could not complete the sweep. They scored 29 runs in the first three games, which included a 19-3 victory Tuesday, but they managed just six hits in the finale.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Howard pops one: The Phillies have been desperate for offense lately, and Howard provided just enough when he ripped a two-run home run to right field to give the Phillies a one-run lead.
