May 20, 1980 - Cincinnati 7, Phillies 6
The Phillies jumped out to a 4-2 lead in the third, and led 5-4 through the fifth, but could not hold out any longer as they dropped this game to the Reds 7-6. Dick Ruthven, off his shutout of the Astros in his last start, was knocked out in the sixth inning after giving up seven runs, five of which were earned. Tough Phils relievers Kevin Saucier, Dickie Noles and Tug McGraw held in the final innings, the Phils' offense could score just one more to make the 7-6 final score. The Phils actually knocked Reds starter Charlie Leibrandt out in the third inning after giving up four homers to Greg Luzinski (twice), Mike Schmidt, and Bake McBride.
