Did Phillies' Fifth Inning Spark Enough Against Orioles at Citizens Bank Park?

First Inning

The Philadelphia Phillies faced off against the Baltimore Orioles at Citizens Bank Park, with the Phils holding a 65-49 record and the O's at 52-63. The game ended with a score of 5-1 in favor of the Orioles. The first inning saw both teams starting cautiously, with neither side managing to score. The Phillies managed one hit but couldn't capitalize on it.

Second Inning

In the second inning, both teams continued their defensive play. The Orioles recorded two hits but were unable to convert them into runs due to strong fielding by the Phils. Meanwhile, Philadelphia also added another hit to their tally but remained scoreless.

Third and Fourth Innings

The third inning was quiet for both sides as they struggled to break through each other's defenses. However, things took a dramatic turn in the fourth inning when Baltimore unleashed an offensive surge that resulted in four runs from four hits, putting them firmly ahead.

Fifth Inning

The fifth inning brought some hope for Philadelphia as they finally got on board with one run from two hits. This was sparked by Trea Turner's impressive performance; he had been consistent throughout this period and his efforts paid off here.

Sixth Through Ninth Innings

Despite having nine total hits throughout these innings combined (two more than Baltimore), including notable contributions from Rafael Marchán who maintained an average of .333 during this game - it wasn't enough for Philly’s lineup which failed again after that lone run scored earlier on during what could have been another potential rally point within those frames themselves if not thwarted by solid pitching performances delivered across opposing dugout lines instead!

On defense though? Alan Rangel stood out among others thanks largely due towards maintaining zero earned runs allowed while keeping WHIP down low too despite facing eight batters over nearly three innings pitched himself alone!
