Phillies 4, Expos 1Game 53 - Sunday Afternoon, June 9th in Philadelphia
Record - 19-34, 5th Place, 14 1/2 games behind the Cubs
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies rode a first inning three-run home run from Glenn Wilson and a fine pitching performance from Kevin Gross to a 4-1 win over the Expos.
What It Means: The team broke its four-game losing streak on the day all men received a free Richie Ashburn hat in appreciation of Father's Day.
What Happened: Wilson's home run and an RBI single from Jeff Stone in the second were all the run support Gross needed. He earned his fifth win with seven strong innings, allowing a run on six hits while striking out eight. Don Carman and Kent Tekulve secured the win in their respective roles of set-up man and closer.
Checking in with the new corner infielders, Rick Schu was providing decent defense and holding steady with a .257 average. First baseman Mike Schmidt had a hit in this game to raise his average to .213.
Featured Card: I'll give Gross the nod over Glennbo, as I've only featured Gross in one of these 1985 game summary posts so far.
