August 3, 1980

After being shut out by Mike LaCoss the game previous, the Phils bounced back nicely this Sunday afternoon.  To do so, the lineup made the most of what was given to them, scoring eight runs on just seven hits (coincidentally, they had seven hits in being shut out by LaCoss).  The Reds pitching made a huge contribution towards that total, issuing nine walks on the day.  Nino Espinosa was the recipient of that generosity, earning his second win of the season.  In contrast to the wildness of the Cincinnati hurlers, Phillies pitching gave up 11 hits, but zero walks on the day.
