August 22, 1980

It was the ending of an era, when a starting pitcher - especially a star pitcher - could reasonable expect to be around for the end of the game.  Even if that game went extra innings.  The Phils' hall of fame lefty Steve Carlton was one of those pitchers.  He went the distance for the Phils but would come out on the short end of a 4-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants.  Carlton struck out 13 but surrendered eleven hits to the Giants. Manny Trillo homered for the Phils in the losing effort.
