May 9, 1980 - Cincinnati 5, Phillies 2
The Big Red Machine was fading fast by 1980, but the remnants of the team were enough to beat Randy Lerch and the Phillies on this day. Lerch, continuing what would become a disastrous season, was rocked for five runs in 4-1/3 innings and took his fourth loss of the season. The Phillies' offense, so good for the past few games, were stifled agianst Reds pitcher Charlie Leibrandt, who pitched a 2-run complete game to win his third game of the season. Bake McBride and Bob Boone knocked in the Phils' two runs.
