It happened on this day in:
1979: Hosting Montreal at the Vet, the Phillies take the field wearing all burgundy uniforms. The Phillies give up 5 HR in the 10-5 loss and not wear the burgundy uniforms again until 2019.1980: Johnny Bench hits his 12th, and last, home run off of Steve Carlton, the most he yielded to any batter. The 2-run shot in the fourth ties the game, but the Phillies go on to win 6-4.
2011: Forty-year-old Jason Giambi hit 3 home runs, accounting for all of his team's scoring as Colorado beat the Phillies 7-0. Giambi became the second oldest player to go deep three times in a game; Stan Musial was 41 when he accomplished the feat in 1962.
2013: Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth to seal a 3-2 victory over Cincinnati. It was the first time Reds closer Aroldis Chapman gave up 2 home runs in a game, and the first time the Phillies ended a game with consecutive home runs since 1922.
