In Philadelphia, J.A. Happ did not have his best control, but pitched his way through 6 innings against the Orioles, allowing just 2 runs. He did give up 10 hits and 4 walks, but managed to get out of trouble time and time again. Then, in the bottom of the 7th, the Phillies scored 5 runs, the last 3 on a long pinch hit home run by Ryan Howard, his 20th. Howard, who did not start for the first time in over 2 years, was hospitalized briefly Friday night after the game with flu-like symptom's. Reports say Ryno had 104 degree fever. The Phils carried the 5-3 lead into the 9th, but Ryan Madson could not close it out and the Orioles scored a 6-5 win.
