On this day, 33 years ago, the Phillies lost a nail-biter in a record-breaking World Series game

On October 20, 1993, the Philadelphia Phillies suffered a historic 15-14 defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 4 of the World Series at Veterans Stadium. Philadelphia held a five-run lead midway through the contest before Toronto erupted for six runs in the eighth inning. The 29 combined runs remain the highest single-game scoring total in World Series history, giving the Blue Jays a 3-1 series advantage.

Lenny Dykstra hit two home runs and Milt Thompson drove in five runs for the Phillies, but reliever Mitch Williams ultimately took the loss. Toronto, led by a potent lineup featuring Rickey Henderson and Paul Molitor, secured the win with Tony Castillo earning the victory in relief. The Blue Jays went on to win the championship in six games, securing back-to-back titles.
