July 10, 1980

It may have been July, but the Cubs were in the Christmas mood.  They practically gave the game away to the Phillies, committing three errors that gave the Phillies three unearned runs.  Dick Ruthven wasn't perfect, but managed to make the lead last, surrendering three runs in his eight innings before giving way to Dickie Noles for the save.
