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. ...

Eflin was placed on the DL on Monday due to patellar tendinopathy in his knees. ...

Its always a pleasure to come here.With his 535th career homer, Ortiz moved past Jimmie Foxx into sole possession of 18th place on baseballs career list. He also increased his RBI total to 110, the most by a player age 40 or above since Dave Winfield had 108 for Toronto in 1992.Were somewhat in awe of what David is doing in his final run, Red Sox manager John Farrell said.Starter Clay Buchholz said Ortiz is having a hell of a going away party.Edwin Encarnacion homered twice and Troy Tulowitzki hit his third career grand slam, but the Blue Jays couldnt force a tie in the standings.

Theres a lot of time left.Toronto finishes the regular season with three games at Fenway Park.Obviously we cant sit back and relax, Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. We know our division is good and weve got to continue to play well.Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts singled against Bo Schultz (0-1) before Benoit came on to face Ortiz, who swung and missed the first pitch but connected on the second.Ortiz hit a tying grand slam off Benoit, then with Detroit, in Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS at Fenway Park. Boston went on to win 6-5.This might not have been the same stage but where we are, against (Toronto), really no less important, Farrell said.Robbie Ross Jr. (3-2) got two outs for the win. Craig Kimbrel, the ninth Booston pitcher, worked the ninth for his 25th save.ddddddddddddToronto also used nine pitchers.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was ejected in the ninth after the umpires ruled Russell Martins double into the right field corner, initially ruled fair, had landed foul. Toronto challenged, but the call was confirmed. Martin later struck out.Encarnacion hit a solo home run off Buchholz in the first, singled and scored in the third, and then hit a two-run shot off Heath Hembree in the fourth. It was his fourth multihomer game of the season and No. 25 for his career. Encarnacion has 39 home runs and leads the AL with 115 RBI.After Martin walked on four pitches with the bases loaded in the fourth, Tulowitzki hammered Buchholzs first pitch for his 23rd home run.Boston tied it at 6 and chased Aaron Sanchez on a two-out, two-run single by Bogaerts in the fourth, but Toronto answered with Encarnacions second homer in the bottom half.After Ramirez cut it to 8-7 with a drive to deep center in the fifth, Bostons Brock Holt tried to steal home but was thrown out by reliever Aaron Loup.It definitely would have been a lot cooler if I had got in there safe, Holt said.THE STREAK CONTINUESPedroia has hit safely in 29 straight games against Toronto, the longest active streak by any player against a single opponent.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: Holt was tagged on his sore right shoulder as he dove back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the fifth.
