Offseason
- December 9, 1987: Glenn Wilson, Mike Jackson, and Dave Brundage (minors) were traded by the Phillies to the Seattle Mariners for Phil Bradley and Tim Fortugno.[1]
- March 21, 1988: Rick Schu, Keith Hughes and Jeff Stone were traded by the Phillies to the Baltimore Orioles for Mike Young and a player to be named later. The Orioles completed the deal by sending Frank Bellino (minors) to the Phillies on June 14.[2]
Regular season
The Phillies were scheduled to play the Cubs in the first night game at Wrigley Field on August 8, 1988. The game began before an announced crowd of 39,008. The Cubs were leading 3 to 1 and coming to bat in the bottom of the fourth when the rain delay began. The umpires called the game after waiting two hours, ten minutes.[3] The Cubs' first official night game came the following night against the Mets.
Montreal Expos pitcher Pascual Pérez threw a five-inning rain-shortened no-hitter against the Phillies on September 24, 1988. It was the first no-hitter in Veterans Stadium history. Perez allowed one walk, and another Phillies baserunner reached on an error. Umpire Harry Wendelstedt waved off the game after a 90-minute rain delay after the game was stopped by a steady rain with one out in the top of the sixth.[4] However, due to a statistical rule change in 1991, no-hitters must last at least nine innings to count. As a result of the retroactive application of the new rule, this game and thirty-five others are no longer considered no-hitters.
