October 5, 1980

With the division sewn up, the Phillies treated this match like a spring training game.  Steve Carlton was pulled from the start to save him for the playoffs, and Mark Davis made his first major leage start.  He did alright, giving up two run in five innings of work, but Randy Lerch and Warren Brusstar both were hit hard, giving up six runs between the two of them, and the Expos won the final game of the series 8-7 - too little, too late for them.  Ozzie Virgil made his major leage debut for the Phils, giving both Bob Boone and Keith Moreland a rest.  The lone regular to start the game was, of course, Pete Rose, who went two-for-two before being lifted in favor of Tim McCarver, making his last major league appearance.
