1994 Philadelphia Phillies

jaa36 · 01-29-2026, 03:31 PM

This one-season dynasty will follow the 1994 Philadelphia Phillies as they attempt to build on their success of the previous year. The 1993 club unexpectedly went from worst to first, making the World Series with an entertaining and scruffy cast of characters. In this universe, the players' strike does not occur and teams will play the full 162 games.

The 1994 Phillies return a fairly similar club to the 1993 pennant winners. The offseason is led by Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton, Dave Hollins and John Kruk, with Kevin Stocker holding down shortstop, and platoons at second base and both outfield corners. The major difference in the rotation is the departure of Terry Mulholland, who was shipped off to the Yankees in exchange for three younger players. Curt Schilling, Danny Jackson, Tommy Greene and Ben Rivera are all holdovers from last year. In the bullpen, soft-tossing closer Doug Jones was acquired for Mitch Williams, who was shipped out after giving up the series-clinching home run to Toronto. Setup men Larry Andersen and David West return, and reliever Heathcliff Slocumb was acquired for outfielder and future GM Ruben Amaro Jr.

I'll play out each game and will summarize the games each week. I'll try to manage somewhat realistically for the area and not make outrageous trades.

The Phillies wind up the first week with a 4-2 record, sweeping the Rockies and dropping a series to the Reds.

April 4: Phillies 6, Rockies 5. The Phils took the season opener in a game that was closer than it should have been. Kevin Stocker helped the club get on the board first with a sac fly in the fourth, then Darren Daulton doubled in two in the fifth. After the lead was extended to 6-0, the Rockies scored a run against Curt Schilling in the seventh, then got a three-run homer from Dante Bichette the next inning. The Rockies got three hits against Doug Jones in the ninth, cutting the deficit to a single run, but Jim Eisenreich threw out Ellis Burks trying to advance to third base to end the game.

April 6: Phillies 9, Rockies 6. Once again, the Phillies took an early lead before frittering it away. Dave Hollins and Daulton hit back-to-back homers in the second inning, and the Phillies tacked on three soon after to go up 5-0. But Andres Galarraga blasted a grand slam off Danny Jackson, and the Rockies followed up with two more runs to take the lead in the fifth. A two-run pinch-hit double by Wes Chamberlain helped the Phillies retake the lead in the eighth, and the Phils tacked on two more in the ninth.

April 7: Phillies 14, Rockies 12. Surely a ten-run lead would be safe, right? Not in Colorado... By the end of their time up in the third inning, the Phillies had 10 runs and 11 hits. All of that evaporated within the next two innings, as Danny Jackson and Heathcliff Slocumb allowed five runs apiece. A two-run double by Pete Incaviglia was followed by a two-run homer by Eisenreich as the Phillies took the lead for good in the sixth. Jones held on for his third save in three games.

April 8: Reds 3, Phillies 2. The Phillies took a 2-0 lead, but the Reds scored two in the fifth to tie it. The exhausted Philadelphia bullpen held up for a while, but Tony Fernandez singled home the game-winner off Slocumb in the tenth.

April 9: Reds 6, Phillies 2. Erik Hanson struck out nine in 8 1/3 innings, shutting down the Phils' offense. Jeff Juden took the loss in his first start as a Phillie.

April 10: Phillies 10, Reds 7. It's never easy in Philadelphia... The Phillies took a 3-0 lead, but the Reds came back with a couple runs in the fourth and then went ahead in the fifth on a three-run homer by Kevin Mitchell. Backup catcher Todd Pratt matched that feat in the sixth for the Phils, and four more runs in the next couple innings gave the club a 10-6 lead. David West, Slocumb and Jones gritted through the final three frames to complete a winning (but stressful) week.

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.

The Phillies alternated losses and wins, finishing the week 3-4, and now are 12-7 overall. We made a minor trade to shore up the bullpen, acquiring reliever Randy St. Claire in exchange for a minor leaguer.

April 18: Dodgers 5, Phillies 1. Ramon Martinez held the Phillies to a single run over eight innings to get the win. Tim Wallach picked up two extra-base hits off Tommy Greene, who took the loss.

April 19: Phillies 6, Dodgers 3. A trio of two-run innings helps the Phillies to victory. Darren Daulton walked three times and scored three runs. Ben Revere pitched six innings for the win, and Larry Andersen, David West and Doug Jones threw scoreless frames to close it out.

April 20: Giants 8, Phillies 6. Starters Jeff Juden and John Burkett were both chased early, with the Giants knotting it at six apiece in the fourth. With the bullpen exhausted, Barry Bonds hit his league-leading ninth home run of the season in the eighth inning off Toby Borland to lead the Giants to the win.

April 21: Phillies 8, Giants 4. Curt Schilling pitched eight innings and hit a home run himself en route to the victory. Kevin Stocker and Ricky Jordan both homered as well as the Phillies doubled up the Giants.

April 22: Padres 3, Phillies 1. Danny Jackson was effective, allowing two unearned runs over seven innings, but the offense could only put up one run off Padres starter Scott Sanders. First baseman Eddie Williams had three hits for San Diego.

April 23: Phillies 5, Padres 2. Darren Daulton and Lenny Dykstra each had three hits, with Daulton hitting his sixth home run of the season. Tommy Greene went seven innings for the win, and West and Jones finished things up.

April 24: Padres 14, Phillies 4. The Phillies played their worst game of the season, committing five errors, allowing eight walks and two wild pitches, and hitting a batter. Ben Rivera, Borland and St. Claire were the main offenders.
