July 24, 1980
A scheduled off-day for the Phillies, and they could certainly use the break. After cresting in first place just after the all-star game with a three-game win streak, the Phils lost nine of the next ten games, and found themselves four games behind the division-leading Pittsburgh Pirates, just about the .500 mark at 47-44.
