September 6, 1980

After a couple of well-pitched games, Larry Christenson stumbled against the Los Angeles Dodgers, giving up three runs and getting pulled in the second inning.  The Phils tied it up in the third, but Los Angeles got to Randy Lerch in the fourth and fifth innings for three more runs, and never looked back as the Phillies fell 7-3.  With the loss, the Phillies fell a game behind the Montreal Expos.
