Nick Castellanos and Bryce Harper each homered and ripped a two-run double and Tyler Phillips secured his first major league win in the host Philadelphia Phillies' 11-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

Castellanos launched a two-run homer in the second inning and Harper went deep to lead off the seventh, thereby giving the latter a homer against all 30 major league teams (including playoffs). Both players added a two-run double in the eighth inning.

Philadelphia's Trea Turner belted a two-run homer and Johan Rojas had a solo shot. Kyle Schwarber added an RBI double for the Phillies, who avenged a series-opening 6-2 setback to record their fourth win in the past five games.

Phillips (1-0) tossed six-plus innings, allowing four runs on six hits. He struck out five without walking a batter while making his second major league appearance (first start).

Oakland's Brent Rooker homered to lead off the seventh to highlight his three-hit performance. Zack Gelof also went deep, Seth Brown and Miguel Andujar each had an RBI double and Brett Harris added a run-scoring single for the Athletics, who have lost four of their past six games.

Gelof's 11th homer of the season forged a 2-2 tie in the top of the third before Philadelphia answered in the bottom of the inning. Garrett Stubbs worked a leadoff walk before coming around to score on Schwarber's double to center field.

Rojas extended the Phillies' lead to 4-2 in the fourth by depositing a first-pitch slider from A's starter Mitch Spence (5-6) over the wall in center field. Rojas' homer was his third of the season and first since May 10.

Philadelphia wasn't done, as Schwarber worked a two-out walk before Turner sent a 2-2 cutter from Spence over the wall in left-center field. Turner's homer was his 10th of the season and seventh this month.

After Rooker homered to lead off the seventh, Shea Langeliers ripped a double to chase Phillips from the game. Harris slapped his RBI single to center field off Orion Kerkering to trim the Phillies' lead to 6-4.

Spence permitted six runs on five hits and five walks in 3 2/3 innings to suffer his fourth loss in his past five decisions. Spence fanned six.
