Misch, making his second start of the year, missed another chance to pick up his first major league victory. The lefty allowed four runs and six hits in six innings, struck out four and walked three in his sixth career start.

Ruiz put the Phillies up 1-0 with his second-inning RBI single. The Giants tied it in the bottom of the third when Fred Lewis singled in a run.

Pedro Feliz, who played his first eight major league seasons in San Francisco before joining the Phillies this season, had an RBI double and also singled against his old club. He parked in the Giants’ players lot and made his way to the visitors’ clubhouse for the first time.

But not before stopping to visit longtime San Francisco equipment manager Mike Murphy, who was like a father figure for Feliz.

“It feels good to be back,” said Feliz, who had hoped to stay with the Giants. “You know me, I fit in anywhere.”

Bochy was still sore after slipping and hitting his head in the dugout Thursday at Pittsburgh while moving to avoid getting hit by a foul ball.

“I’m hurting today,” he said, noting his neck and back were tender after the cross-country flight.

Bochy received a gag gift in his office before Friday’s game: a large black bucket with a black Giants hat on it.

“My new helmet,” he said with a grin.
