Notes from Twitter

Todd Zolecki:

  • Dustin McGowan is first Phillies pitcher to allow five homers in a game since Cory Lidle and Vicente Padilla each did it in 2005.
  • According to Baseball Reference, Dustin McGowan is one of just 5 relievers since 1914 to allow 5+ homers in a game.
  • Phillies have allowed 17 runs so far, most since they allowed 17 in Kansas City on June 10, 2007.
  • Frenchy is first Phillies' position player to throw a clean inning since Wilson Valdez in 2011.
  • Baltimore's 19 runs are its most since it scored 23 runs vs. Toronto on Sept. 28, 2000.
  • Phillies suffer first winless road trip (0-8) of 8+ games since 1883, when they went 0-9.

Kevin Cooney:

  • Last time Phillies were swept in three straight multi-game series: May 26 to June 4, 1989. AKA the Mike Schmidt retirement road trip.
  • Assuming the Orioles hang on and win this one: Phillies are now on a 54 win pace after 66 games. That's 108 losses.

Eduardo A. Encina:

  • Davis' HR did hit Eutaw St., 81st in history of OPACY. 32nd by an #Orioles player, Davis' 7th. He also hit last Eutaw HR in no-fan game 4/29.
  • Chris Davis' seven career Eutaw Street homers are most by any player. He passes Luke Scott, who had 6.
  • Attendance tonight 26,964. #Orioles #Phillies
  • Thats a new club record. Flaherty's HR gives #Orioles a new franchise record 8 homers tonight.
  • [Adam] Jones had MRI on right shoulder that came back clean. He aggravated it diving for a ball last night. Showalter confident be back in 1-2 days.
