It happened on this day in:
1894: Ed Delahanty goes 6-for-6 as the Phils beat Cincinnati 19-91908: The Phillies are the beneficiaries of an inadvertent hidden ball play. When Chicago's Johnny Evers hit a ball into the stands, Philly fans returned it to Cubs' first base coach Orval Overall, who put it in his pocket. Later in the at-bat, Evers beat a throw to first to reach safely. Overall then rolled the ball from the stands to umpire Bill Klem, who was stationed near the pitching mound. Seeing the ball, Evers stepped off first, as if judging his chances of making it to second on an errant throw. He was immediately tagged out by Phillies first baseman Kitty Bransfield who still held the ball in play. Klem called Evers out, and refused Chicago's protests that there were two balls on the field because the second ball was put there by one of the Cubs.
1979: With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, Pete Rose works a walk against Cincinnati's Doug Bair -- a walk-off walk.
2010: Pitching in new Yankee Stadium, Jamie Moyer gives up a home run to Robinson Cano in the second inning. It's the 42nd major league ballpark in which Moyer gave up a home run, setting a new record. Moyer got the win in the Phils' 6-3 victory.
2015: The Phillies are pounded by the Orioles, losing 19-3. The O's hit 8 home runs in the game, setting a new team record. Outfielder Jeff Francoeur pitched the final two innings -- he was the only Phillie pitcher to record a 1-2-3 inning. The loss also sealed the Phillies' first winless 8-game road trip since their inaugural season in 1883.
