August 1, 1980

August would start on a positive note for the Phillies, with rookie Bob Walk winning his eighth game of the season by giving up just one run in eight innings of work.  For their part, the Phils managed to score three  with the help of Lonnie Smith, who scored two runs, and Bake McBride, Mike Schmidt and Manny Trillo, who each drove in a run.
