Mike Schmidt gets tangled up with Mets second baseman Doug Flynn.

The story today was missed opportunities. The Phillies had twelve hits during the course of the game but could only score two runs, and left thirteen on base. Larry Christenson managed only one inning of work before being lifted for Ron Reed. He would also miss his next start before pitching against the Dodgers on May 3. The Mets only had seven hits, but managed to score an unearned run in the sixth to pin the loss on Lerrin LaGrow.

 

Phils' Record: 5-6

Place: Tied for 3rd with the Expos, 2½ games behind the Pirates.
