September 22, 1980

Steve Carlton and St. Louis' Pete Vukovich dueled to a 2-2 tie over nine innings before both turned things over to their respective bullpens.  The Phils would break through against the Cardinals' Kim Seaman, with Larry Bowa scoring on a double by Keith Moreland.  Tug McGraw would fare better, sealing the game with a scoreless bottom of the tenth.  Mike Schmidt homered, hiting his 42nd off Vukovich in the fourth inning to tie the score at one.
