BALTIMORE (AP) _ Scott Rolen homered in a seven-run second inning and the Philadelphia Phillies overcame four Baltimore homers in extending the Orioles' interleague woes with a 9-5 victory Friday night.

Doug Glanville homered and drove in three runs for the Phillies, who improved to 5-2 against the AL. Philadelphia sent 11 men to the plate in the second inning, scoring all seven runs with two outs.

Charles Johnson hit two solo homers and Jeff Conine and Albert Belle each hit one for the Orioles, who have lost eight of nine to fall a season-high 10 games under .500.

Baltimore's 1-6 interleague record is the worst in the AL. The Orioles made two errors that led to six unearned runs.

Randy Wolf (6-3) won his third straight start despite giving up three homers. The left-hander, who allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, has already matched his win total from his rookie season last year.

Rolen, in his first game since coming off the disabled list with a sprained ankle, homered with two on in the pivotal second inning. But the key play was an error by Baltimore second baseman Delino DeShields that led to five unearned runs.

Two walks and a single loaded the bases for Glanville, who hit a two-run single off Pat Rapp (4-4). With runners on first and third, Glanville escaped a rundown when DeShields decided to throw to third base _ too late to get the runner. DeShields then botched a grounder, allowing a run to score, and Bobby Abreu singled in a run before Rolen hit his team-leading 13th homer.

Conine homered in the Orioles' half and Johnson led off the third with a drive to center. Glanville homered in the fourth to make it 8-2, but Belle connected and Rich Amaral added an RBI single in the Orioles' half.

An error by Conine at first base led to an unearned run and a 9-4 lead in the seventh. Johnson hit his 11th of the season, the fifth in 10 games, in the eighth.

Notes: Baltimore is 13-29 since April 22. ... Glanville is 79-for-230 (.343) in interleague play. ... DeShields' error was his team-high sixth. ... Belle extended his hitting streak to 11 games. ... Ron Gant got an infield single off Rapp in the sixth, his first hit against him in 15 career at-bats. ... Wolf has allowed at least one homer in all but one of his 12 starts.
