Today in Phillies History for July 31st

It happened on this day in:

1929: Don Hurst hits a 3-run home run to help beat the Pirates 6-2. It ended a team record streak of 4 games in which he hit at least one home run but no other hits. After going hitless the next day, he had another HR-only game on August 2.
1944: The Phillies lose a 5-1 decision to Chicago at Shibe Park, their 20th straight home game. They next embarked on a 26-game road trip, followed by another 20-game homestand.
1982: Manny Trillo makes an error in the seventh inning of a game against Chicago, snapping a major-league record streak of 89 consecutive errorless games.
1987: Steve Bedrosian earns his 30th save of the year, the first time a Phillie reached that mark.
1994: Kim Batiste goes 1-for-3 with a walk as the Phils lose to Atlanta 9-5. It was Batiste's only walk in 209 at-bats that year.
