PHILADELPHIA -- Maikel Franco and his Philadelphia teammates didnt like the way the Rockies responded to his home run.Franco hit a three-run homer, then later was in the middle of a testy exchange that led to the benches clearing and a pair of ejections as the Phillies beat Colorado 6-3 Saturday night.On a hot, humid evening with a gametime temperature of 93 degrees and a heat index of 105, tempers flared in the fourth inning.Rockies starter Tyler Anderson plunked Franco on the knee with his first pitch. Franco, who homered in his previous at-bat, stayed at home plate and stared out at Anderson while players from both teams barked at each other.Anderson moved toward Franco and appeared to tell him to go to first base and that he didnt hit him on purpose.Asked if he was mad, Franco said, A little bit because I wasnt expecting the ball coming.No punches were thrown, but both Anderson and Rockies manager Walt Weiss were ejected by plate umpire Eric Cooper. Anderson had to be restrained while walking angrily back to the dugout with shouts directed toward Cooper.Crew chief Gary Cederstrom told a pool reporter that Cooper ejected Anderson without any prior warnings because the umpire felt the pitcher intentionally threw at Franco.I dont know whether he hit him on purpose or not, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. It kind of looked like it. Im not going to argue with the umpire.Both Weiss and Anderson said the pitcher merely was trying to pitch inside.It doesnt look good, but he definitely wasnt trying to hit him, Weiss said. We dont operate that way.Said Anderson: He was just on the plate a little more than he was last time, so we wanted to go in and try to open up the outer half a little more, which is part of pitching.Philadelphia had two batters hit by pitches, the Rockies got hit once. Although Cederstrom said warnings were issued to both teams following the ejections, nothing came of the subsequent two hit batters.Was there was any correlation between the hit batsman?None whatsoever, Weiss said.Cesar Hernandez had two hits while extending his on-base streak to 20 straight games for the Phillies, who won their third straight.Daniel Descalso and Tony Wolters homered for Colorado, which has lost six of seven. Carlos Gonzalez extended his major league-leading hitting streak to 19 games.Jerad Eickhoff (8-12) won despite giving up three runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings.Franco hit his 21st homer, stopping an 0-for-10 rut by connecting off Anderson (4-4).Freddy Galvis singled home Franco in the fourth to make it a four-run advantage.The Rockies climbed back in the sixth when Descalsos two-run shot and Wolters solo homer pulled them within 4-3.30 FOR GOMEZJeanmar Gomez pitched a scoreless ninth, stranding two runners, for his 30th save in 33 opportunities.Its very impressive in the respect he was the last choice to be our closer, Mackanin said. We gave everybody an opportunity. He stayed with it and did a good job. He stays poised on the mound. Hes such a great guy and hes been extremely valuable for us. Its been a good year for him.NEW STREAKDavid Dahl doubled twice for the Rockies. He was hitless Friday night, stopping his major league-tying 17-game hitting streak to start a career.QUICK NIGHTAndersons outing was the shortest of the 26-year-olds career and snapped a string of eight straight starts with at least six innings.Its just frustrating because your job as a starting pitcher is to give us a chance, and I obviously didnt do that today, Anderson said. Three innings and then putting a big, heavy weight on the bullpens shoulders because of that. Its really disappointing.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Gonzalez (left ankle sprain) made his first start since Monday.Phillies: RHP Jeremy Hellicksons start scheduled for Wednesday has been pushed back tentatively to Saturday. Hellickson left his last start Wednesday at Los Angeles with back spasms. He will be further evaluated before his next start is finalized. ... RHP Zach Eflin is likely done for the season, manager Pete Mackanin said, after an MRI revealed a stress fracture in his right foot. Eflin was placed on the DL on Monday due to patellar tendinopathy in his knees. ... Mackanin also expects INF Andres Blanco (fractured left index finger), on the DL since July 25, to return the first week of September.UP NEXTThe teams complete the three-game series Sunday when Phillies LHP Adam Morgan (1-7, 6.65) faces RHP Tyler Chatwood (10-7, 3.58). Morgan is begin recalled from Triple-A to fill Eflins spot in the rotation. Luke Hancock College Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Cheap Louisville Gear . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. http://www.cheaplouisvillejerseys.com/?tag=louisville-teddy-bridgewater-college-jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. Wholesale Louisville Jerseys .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition. Throwback Louisville Jerseys . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Butler coach Chris Holtmann acknowledged that Vanderbilts size and zone defense presented problems in the Bulldogs 76-66 win Thursday, and he expects the task to be more difficult against No. 8 Arizona on Friday.At least Holtmanns team, which is 5-0, does not have to concern itself with a zone defense utilized by Arizona coach Sean Miller.Being from the same family of coaches, as Holtmann calls his Midwestern roots and those of Miller, both teams figure to play man-to-man when they meet in the championship game of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational on Friday at 10:30 p.m. ET.The Wildcats (5-0) also have size much like Vanderbilt presented with 7-foot-1 NBA prospect Luke Fornet and 6-10 center Djery Baptiste. The Wildcats start two 7-footers -- freshman forward Lauri Markkanen and center Dusan Ristic.Vanderbilts size bothered us a little bit, but you have to give our guys some credit for responding there down the stretch, said Holtmann, whose team rallied after Kornet made a 3-pointer to put the Commodores up by two with 9:04 left in the game.Butler freshman guard Kamar Baldwin made back-to-back layups before a dunk by junior forward Tyler Wideman capped a 17-3 run that put Butler up 70-58 with 1:33 remaining.Fornet and Baptiste struggled on the offensive end, making only 3 of 14 shots combined from the field. It was their defense in the post that affected Butlers shooting. The Bulldogs made 40.4 percent of their field-goal attempts.It is important going against a team like Arizona that we showed we can respond when we were not playing great and the other team was coming after us a little bit, Holtmann saaid.dddddddddddd Arizona is clearly the most talented and gifted team we will have played. They play really hard, and theyre disciplined.Arizona sophomore guard Allonzo Trier did not make the trip because of an undisclosed eligibility issue that has kept him out of the first five games. The Wildcats held off a pesky Santa Clara team, winning 69-61, to set up the championship game with Butler. Markkanen led Arizona with 16 points and nine rebounds, while freshman guard Kobi Simmons added 14 points, making all three of his 3-point attempts.Miller and Holtmann share a past centering around Illinois coach John Groce. Miller is a good friend of Groce, and Holtmann served as an assistant under Groce at Ohio.I am very familiar with their program coming from Xavier, said Miller, who was the Musketeers head coach from 2004-05 to 2008-09. They are a Top 25-caliber team and NCAA Tournament team. We are potentially playing our best opponent (Friday). We know that, and were going to have to play a great game to beat them.Butler senior forward Andrew Chrabascz recorded his second career double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds in the Bulldogs win over Vanderbilt. Guard Tyler Lewis scored 15 points, and forward Kelan Martin added 14 points.Its going to be an honor playing against those guys, said Martin, a preseason All-Big East selection. Its a big-name school. They have a good team. They have a lot of tradition.We have to be ready to play them, especially playing back-to-back (days) like this.
