Orioles 6, Phillies 4
PHILADELPHIA -- Chris Parmelee homered for the third time in two games as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4 Wednesday night.
Left fielder Travis Snider also homered for Baltimore, which beat the Phillies for the third day in a row and won for the 11th time in 13 games in all.
Shortstop Freddy Galvis hit a three-run homer for Philadelphia, which dropped its ninth straight.
Parmelee, a right fielder recalled from Triple-A Norfolk before Tuesday's game against the Phillies in Baltimore, hit two of the Orioles' club-record eight homers in a 19-3 victory that night. He connected off Kevin Correia (0-1) in the first inning Wednesday.
Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (5-3) went 6 2/3 innings and surrendering four runs (three earned) and eight hits while striking out eight. Jimenez, who retired 10 consecutive hitters in one stretch, did not issue a walk while earning his second straight victory.
Chaz Roe and Brian Matusz combined for 1 1/3 perfect innings of relief. Zach Britton worked a scoreless ninth for his 18th save.
Correia went five innings and allowed six runs (two earned) and seven hits while striking out four and walking one.
Parmelee hit a two-out solo homer in the first, but the Phillies knotted it in the bottom of the inning when second baseman Chase Utley singled with one out, stole second, went to third on a throwing error by catcher Matt Wieters and scored on Jimenez's wild pitch.
The Orioles went back in front by scoring four times in the fourth. Wieters singled home the first run, and center fielder David Lough delivered two more with a two-out double, making him 8-for-13 in his career against Correia. An infield single by Jimenez increased Baltimore's lead to 5-1.
Snider added a leadoff homer in the fifth.
Galvis' homer, his second of the season, came with one out in the seventh. It followed a single by catcher Cameron Rupp and a bunt single by left fielder Cody Asche, and it cut the gap to 6-4.
NOTES: Orioles OF Adam Jones missed his second consecutive game with a shoulder injury. He is officially day-to-day, though manager Buck Showalter said pregame that Jones would not play Thursday afternoon, either. ... The Phillies placed RHP Jerome Williams on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring and recalled RHP Hector Neris from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Manager Ryne Sandberg said before the game that an announcement would be made in the next day or two as to who will start in Williams' place Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. ... Neither GM Ruben Amaro Jr. nor Sandberg would say before the game that he is worried about job security. As Sandberg said, "I worry about the game today and what has to be done today. That's the focus and the mindset for me." ... The Phillies signed SS Cornelius Randolph, their first-round draft pick.
