Franco homers again, but Orioles beat Phillies 8-7

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco hit his major league-leading ninth homer of spring training, but Garabez Rosa hit a tying homer in the ninth inning for Baltimore and then another run scored on a wild pitch to give the Orioles an 8-7 win over Philadelphia on Friday night.

Ryan Flaherty scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch by Dalier Hinojosa. Xavier Avery and Steve Tolleson each hit two-run homers for the Orioles.

Darin Ruf and Ryan Howard also went deep for Philadelphia, which hosts a contingent of Phillies minor leaguers on Saturday before traveling to Cincinnati for Monday's season opener.
