June 17, 1980

The Phillies had to overcome a rough start by Dickie Noles.  Noles, given a rare start (one of just three for the season), had pitched erratically at best, giving up three homers and making an error that would cost his team three runs.  The bullpen, however, was stellar, shutting out the Dodgers for the final four innings and giving the offense a chance to roar back.  And roar back it did, scoring three times in the seventh and eighth to take the comback victory.
