April 18
The Phillies took five out of six on the week and currently are tired for the best record in the National League, at 9-3. Darren Daulton had ten hits (three home runs) and won the Player of the Week in the NL.
April 11: Phillies 4, Rockies 0. Danny Jackson threw eight shutout innings, striking out five and allowing just four hits. Rookie Toby Borland entered in the ninth after Jackson got into trouble and picked up the last three outs on just five pitches. Jim Eisenreich hit a two-run homer for the Phils.
April 13: Phillies 7, Rockies 3. Darren Daulton’s two-run double helped the Phillies took an early lead that they didn’t relinquish. Tommy Greene gutted through six innings, and Larry Andersen and Heathcliff Slocumb threw scoreless relief outings.
April 14: Phillies 6, Rockies 1. Ben Rivera was outstanding, allowing just one run in 6 2/3 innings, with David West and Borland taking Philadelphia the rest of the way for their second straight sweep against Colorado. Daulton and Kevin Stocker homered, and Mickey Morandini picked up three hits.
April 15: Phillies 10, Reds 6. Daulton homered twice and drove in four runs as the Phillies collected 12 hits in total, with three apiece from Daulton and Lenny Dykstra. Once again, the back end of the bullpen was solid, with Andersen and Doug Jones each pitching scoreless innings.
April 16: Reds 9, Phillies 5. Kevin Mitchell blasted three home runs to snap a five-game Philadelphia winning streak. Curt Schilling had a rough outing, giving up seven runs in four innings.
April 17: Phillies 5, Reds 1. Jackson was terrific once again, allowing just a solo homer in eight innings to pick up his second straight win. Pete Incaviglia drove in two runs with a first-inning single.
