May 20, 1980
Lost opportunities was the theme of this game. The Phils had chances to win, but could not hold back the Reds in this game. Dick Ruthven was as mediocre in this start has he had been stellar in his last: 7 runs given up (5 earned) in his 6+ innings of work. Even with Mike Schmidt blasting his 10th homer, it was not enough.
