July 5, 1980

Randy Lerch couldn't buy a break with a million dollars in 1980.  He had another tough day against St. Louis, giving up five runs to suffer his 11th loss of the season.  For their part, the offense was still practically nonexistent.  The Phils managed one unearned run against former Phil Jim Kaat, who went the distance and collected his third win of the season.
