May 30, 1980
After the four game set against the Pirates, the Phils traveled to Chicago for three games. Unfortunately, Dan Larson didn't seem to have his best stuff going into his second start, and the defense didn't do him any favors. Three hits, two walks, a balk and an error by Pete Rose led to six Chicago runs, and the Cubs would pretty much coast the rest of the way.
