Phillies 3, Pirates 2Game 60 - Sunday Afternoon, June 16th in Pittsburgh
Record - 24-36, 5th Place, 12 games behind the Expos
One Sentence Summary: Rick Schu's double in the sixth started a three-run rally that would eventually lead to this 3-2 win over the Pirates.
What It Means: There's the "Phils Edge Bucs" box score headline I wanted a few games ago! After taking two out of three from the last place Pirates, the Phillies traveled to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals beginning on Tuesday night.
What Happened: With the game scoreless, Charles Hudson singled to opened the sixth and Juan Samuel moved him to third with a single of his own. Schu doubled off Pirates starter Rick Reuschel to score Hudson, Von Hayes hit a sacrifice fly to score Samuel and Mike Schmidt singled to score Schu and give the team a 3-0 lead. Hudson's only blemish was a two-run home run allowed to future Phillie Bill Almon in the seventh, chasing him from the game. Hudson went 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits on the way to his third win of the season.
Kent Tekulve pitched a perfect ninth to earn his first save against his former team. Al Holland faced his former team as well, pitching two scoreless innings of relief for the Pirates and striking out five Phillies batters. Holland struck out the side in the ninth with Glenn Wilson, John Russell and Steve Jeltz all whiffing.
Featured Card: The Schu experiment continued to go relatively well as the new third baseman's average was up to .277 following this game and he had played steady defense.
