August 2, 1980 - Cincinnati 2, Phillies 0
In a classic pitching duel, Steve Carlton was very, very good. He pitched eight innings, struck out ten Red batters, gave up seven hits and just two runs. Unfortunately for the Phils, he did not pitch as well this evening as did Reds starter Mike LaCoss. Going into the game sporting a fat 5.19 ERA for the season, LaCoss pitched a complete game shutout, keeping the Phils' sputtering offense scoreless despite also giving up seven hits. The Reds scored single runs in both the 7th and 8th innings to clinch the win. Of the Phils, only Manny Trillo (2-for-4) had more than one hit, and Garry Maddox hit the lone extra-base knock, a double in the 9th inning. Montreal caught up to the Pirates for the division lead, and the Phils dropped to 2½ games behind.
