Harrison Bader 3-run home run off Corbin Martin. Phillies lead #Orioles 6-3 in the 6th inning.

J.T. Realmuto legs out a 2-out infield single in the bottom of the 6th, and that'll do it for Cade Povich, who threw 90 pitches in his return from the IL.

#Orioles turn to right-hander Corbin Martin, who will look to keep the game tied at 3.

Jesús Luzardo has retired 11 straight #Orioles batters since Gunnar Henderson's 1-out single in the 3rd.

O's and Phillies still tied at 3 heading to bottom of 6th.

Kyle Schwarber clubs a game-tying 2-run home run off Cade Povich, and it was a massive one -- Statcast-projected 427 feet into the 2nd deck in right field.

#Orioles 2, Phillies 1.

First time here at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia since May 15-17, 2015 (the first series I worked for MLB dot com).

24-year-old was acquired from Mets in Cedric Mullins trade. This will be his 1st taste of Triple-A.

#Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said they're "asking a lot out of" Jeremiah Jackson to play right field. But O's need offense and part of the spot they were in without O'Neill and Mountcastle.

Mansolino was "proud of Jeremiah for bouncing back" after 1st-inning error.

Justin Turner pinch-hits and blasts a walk-off 2-run home run off Keegan Akin in the bottom of the 9th.

Cubs win 5-3 and take the series.

#Orioles fall to 51-61.
