GAME 39 - May 30, 1976 - "Clay Pigeon"

Phillies 10, Expos 6
Clay Kirby vs Jim Kaat
Clay_Kirby_76 The pitiful Clay Kirby gave up 9 runs in 3 2/3 innings of forgettable work.  Steve Dunning came on board to mop up and was impressive with 4 1/3 innings of 1 run ball.  Results like that question why Dunning wasn't starting and Kirby wasn't departin'.  Montreal wasted their best offensive showing in days on a pitcher who couldn't find the strike zone with a map (8 walks).  Andy Thornton continues to impress by going 3 for 4 with 4 RBI's and 2 homers.  Dick Allen was the offensive star for the Phightin's going 2 for 3 with 2 homers and 4 RBI's.  The series sweep puts the Phils back over .500 and back in the NL East race, while the Expos erased all the good they did with their 5 of 6 win stretch.
