Woodie Fryman's bid for the first no-hitter in Phillies' history in Connie Mack Stadium was foiled after seven and one-third innings, but the lefthander defeated the Pirates, 2-0. Al Oliver beat out an infield grounder to deep short to spoil Fryman's efforts. The Pirates went on to add three more hits before the game ended. Bob Veale, who was the loser in the duel, yielded only three hits in seven innings, but they included a single by Denny Doyle and a homer by Deron Johnson for the Phillies' runs in the fourth.
