1991 Leaf #412 Dale MurphyLast night, the Phillies won their 3rd straight extra-inning game, the first time they've ever performed that feat at home. The last time the team won 3 straight extra innings games was back in August 1991.
The first win came in Montreal on August 4th when Dale Murphy (pinch hitting for Darren Daulton) drove home Lenny Dykstra in the top of the 10th with a double. It was the 6th win in a row in a streak that would eventually reach 13 games. Extra-inning win number two came two nights later at home when Murphy again came through, this time with a grand slam in the 11th to beat the Cubs, 6-2.
The third extra-inning victory came on the next night, August 7th, when Wes Chamberlain drove home Randy Ready with the winning run again in the 11th.
