September 12, 1980

Doubleheader against St. Louis, who took care of the Phils' four-game winning streak, chasing Bob Walk after four innings and Dickie Noles after just one-third of an inning, going ahead 7-0 before the Phils scored a pair each in the sixth and seventh - too little, too late.  The second game was a scoreless tie until the eleventh, when St. Louis exploded for five off of Ron Reed and Randy Lerch, wasting a superb effort by Nino Espinosa, who went seven in his start.
