| 1921 | In the nightcap of a twin bill, Phillies' right-hander George Smith gives up 12 hits but manages to pitch a shutout, blanking the Braves in Boston, 4-0. In the first game of the doubleheader, the Philadelphia hurler wasn't as fortunate, leaving in the second inning after yielding three runs on four hits. |
| 1987 | At Veterans Stadium, Juan Samuel hits a leadoff triple to right field off Rick Sutcliffe in the Phillies' 13-7 victory over Chicago. The Philadelphia second baseman's three-bagger makes him the first player to reach double digits in doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases during his first four seasons in the major leagues. |
| 2013 | Charlie Manuel, the winningest pilot in 130 years of Phillies baseball, became the 58th manager in baseball history to win 1,000 games. During his 12-year managerial career, the 69-year-old skipper, who Ryne Sandberg will replace in six days, has compiled 780 wins with Philadelphia and had another 220 with the Indians to reach the plateau. |
