September 28, 1980

The rubber match between the Phillies and the Montreal Expos was not close like the first two games.  The Expos took the lead in the third, and extended it in the sixth and seventh.  Bob Walk, though taking the loss, pitched decently well, giving up two earned runs in five innings of work, but Dickie Noles and Kevin Saucier each surrendered multiple runs in relief.  The Phils would score two in the 8th, but that would prove to be too little and too late.  Gary Carter hit two homers for the Expos.  The loss put the Phils back in second place, as Montreal re-claimed the division lead before leaving town.
