It was a funky game for the Phillies, as the Giants never challenged them for the win. Von Hayes led off both the first and the third inning with triples, and each time Greg Gross was able to plate him for the RBI. Juan Samuel and Mike Schmidt recorded homers and John Denny tossed another gem, going 7 innings and only giving up four hits, one of which was a Bob Brenly four-bagger.

Game #482 - Cincinnati Reds, 3 @ St. Louis Cardinals, 5
This was the final game on the May 18th schedule, and it was a good one!
The Reds scored first. Gary Redus hit a one-out double and then stole third base. Two hitters later Dave "Cobra" Parker hit a deep fly for an RBI sacrifice. But in the bottom of the first St. Louis took the lead. Three straight singles scored Willie McGee and George Hendrick. A Redus error in the second allowed Lonnie Smith to score after cranking a double, and then the Cards got two more in the third to make it 5-1.
In the top of the fifth the Reds began chipping back. Redus doubled again, and once again eventually scored on a Parker sacrifice fly. Cesar Cedeno punched an RBI pinch-hit in the sixth that allowed Ron Oester to cross home and all of a sudden the Cards were only up two! But Dave Rucker pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth, wracking up three K's for the save.
