PHILADELPHIA (AP) Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco hit his major league-leading ninth homer of spring training, but Rosa Garabez 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. Odubel Herrera added three hits.

Aaron Nola started and allowed one unearned run over three innings for Philadelphia with five strikeouts.
