This Day in Philly Sports History - August 11, 2024

The Phillies lost an ugly one last night 11-1 to the D-Backs. A 5-5 road trip and a series split is still on the table today with Cristopher Sanchez on the mound. Joel Embiid is a gold medal winner, will the experience help him when the Sixers season starts? The Question of the Day is "Will a pitcher ever hit 2 homers in a game again?" Today's Philly Olympic Spotlight is Joel Embiid, basketball from the Sixers. On this day in 2004 the Phillies beat the Rockies 15-4. Jim Thome and Randy Wolf both hit 2 homers. It was the 8th time in team history that a Phillies pitcher hit 2 in a game and Wolf was the 7th pitcher to do it.
