Somewhere, Mitch Williams is smiling.
Nearly fifteen years after the Phillies lost to the Blue Jays in the 1993 World Series … The Phillies extract a little revenge.
Earlier this year, Jayson Werth earned a Home Run of the Day with an Inside-the-park job at Colorado … I guess that wasn’t enough for Werth, who felt he had to lay a whuppin on the Blue Jays … all by himself.
And only one of those longballs was a solo shot. Werth hit a 3-run jack and a Grand Slam in the second and third innings off Jays’ starter David Purcey, who practically grooved two balls right in Werth’s wheelhouse.
Here’s Video of the Grand Slam and the Solo shot …
That’s eight RBI, folks. The last Phillie to have eight RBI in a game was Mike Schmidt back in 1976.
He took two curtain calls. One after the Slam and one after this third roundtripper of the evening.

Damn it Jayson Werth.
Don’t you remember that it was those same Blue Jays who gave you a chance to break into the Major Leagues with them? Yes, they also gave up on you, but still, 8 RBIs?!?
Somehow, Ricciardi is to blame for this loss.
