MLB: Baltimore 7, Philadelphia 2

Philadelphia, June 19: Matt Wieters and Nick Markakis both had two RBI and Nolan Reimold added a solo homer Friday in the Baltimore Orioles' 7-2 inter-league win over Philadelphia.

Starting and winning pitcher Rich Hill (3-1) drove in a run with a single and went 6 2/3 innings while allowing five hits and two runs.

Philadelphia lost its fourth straight, all at home. The defending World Champion Phillies have a 23-9 record on the road this season, but are only 13-20 at home.

Wieters had a two-run double in the second inning to overcome an early 2-0 deficit and then scored the go-ahead run on a single by Hill.

Reimold's homer came in the ninth to give Baltimore a 5-2 lead and Markakis added insurance in the inning with a two-run double.

Antonio Bastardo (2-2) allowed five hits and four runs over seven innings to take the loss.
