August 25, 1980

Two big innings sank the Phillies against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Nino Espinosa started and pitched pretty well, except for the second inning when he was battered for five hits and three runs.  The Phils actually took the lead 4-3 with a three-run sixth sparked by a Manny Trillo triple and Garry Maddox double.  The bullpen squandered the lead and the game in the later innings, particularly a four-run outburst by the Dodgers in the ninth against Dickie Noles, Warren Brusstar and Tug McGraw.
