Notes: Game 2 was a
pitcher's duel between left-handers Larry Gura and Steve Carlton. Carlton
looked in control up 2-1 until, acting on Manager Jim Frey's complaint that
Carlton was using a foreign substance on the ball, the umpires made Carlton
wash his hands.[1] Carlton then loaded the bases with three walks and Amos Otis
ripped a double into the left field corner driving in two and setting up a
third score. The Fightin' Phils
refused to give up again, and down 4-2 they rallied to go up on the Royals in
the eighth. The big hits in this inning came via a game tying RBI double by Del
Unser and a go ahead RBI single by Bake McBride past the drawn in infield. Mike
Schmidt drove in an insurance run with a double off the right-center field wall
and Ron Reed picked up the save in the ninth as
George Brett left the game in the sixth inning after going 2-for-2 with a walk...it was later revealed he was suffering from hemorrhoids
Thanks Richard!
