September 5, 1980

Another pitcher's duel between the Phillies and the Dodgers saw the Phils' four-game winning streak come to an end.  Steve Carlton was sparkling, giving up just one run in seven innings of work.  The only blemish was a Ron Cey home run given up in the second inning.  Unfortunately, he was one-upped by Los Angeles' Don Sutton, who shut out the Phils through eight innings before giving way to Don Stanhouse in the ninth to seal the win for the Dodgers.
