September 27, 1980

Even Steve Carlton is human.  He was given a 2-1 lead in the second inning, but his normally biting slider just wasn't as sharp, and Carlton was touched for eight hits and four runs in his seven innings of work.  For the Phils, they tried coming back in the ninth, scoring one, but the Expos held on behind Scott Sanderson to pull back even with the Phils in the NL East race.  Mike Schmidt's 44th homer in the first inning gave the Phils a short-lived 1-0 lead, and Manny Trillo's seventh gave the Phils a 2-1 lead that Carlton would take into the fourth.  The Phils did have the tying run on second with two outs in the ninth, but former Phillie Woodie Fryman struck out Lonnie Smith to end the threat and the game.
