August 15, 1980

Larry Christenson and Tug McGraw combined on a gem, shutting out the New York Mets on six hits, as the bats scored an eight-spot for the second consecutive game.  Manny Trillo hit a home run in this game - just his third of the season, and multiple Phillies had hits in this game, including Pete Rose, Lonnie Smith and Larry Bowa, who had three hits each on the game.
