August 13, 1980
The Phils blew a chance of sweeping the Cubs behind solid pitching by Dick Ruthven, who gave up just two runs in eight innings of work. Unfortunately, the bats were once more cold and could only muster one run off a trio of Cubs pitchers - a ninth-inning home run by Mike Schmidt to tie the game at one. After loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth, Ruthven was relieved by Ron Reed, who gave up the game-losing sacrifice fly to former Phil Jerry Martin.
