The Phillies lost tonight. This is not a recording. The Baltimore Orioles bolted to a fast lead, then held on for a 6-4 victory at Citizens Bank Park, giving the O’s wins in the first 3 games of this 4-game home-and-home series.
Phils’ starter Kevin Correia produced yet another less-than-stellar outing from a member of their rotation. Correia (0-1) took the loss, allowing 2 earned runs but 6 total runs on 7 hits and a walk across 5 innings.
The Orioles broke on top early when Chris Parmelee drove a first-pitch solo homer from Correia over the wall in right-center with two outs in the 1st inning.
