Ginn goes 8 innings and Gelof hits one of four A's homers in 12-1 rout of Phillies

Kyle Schwarber homered for the Phillies, who lost for just the second time in 10 games under interim manager Don Mattingly.

Ginn (1-1), making his sixth start after being elevated from the bullpen, allowed one run on four hits with eight strikeouts and one walk.

Every starter in the batting order had a hit for the A's, who finished with 13.

Langeliers and Rooker each hit a two-run shot off rookie Andrew Painter (1-4) in a four-run first inning. Wilson made it 7-0 in the third with another two-run drive against Painter, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. Rooker’s RBI single in the fourth upped the advantage to 8-0.

Painter, the No. 13 overall pick by Philadelphia in the 2021 amateur draft, gave up eight runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings, raising his ERA to 6.89.

Schwarber homered in the fourth.

Backup catcher Garrett Stubbs got the loudest cheers of the night from the home fans with a 1-2-3 ninth in a pitching appearance.
