September 3, 1969, San Diego: Phillies 9, Padres 1 (box score) Ugly, ugly loss. Did I say ugly? The Padres scored only once. In the seventh inning, with left-hander Woodie Fryman on the mound for the visitors, San Diego parlayed an Ivan Murrell single and two Phillies errors into a run. That made the score 9-1. The rest?

Okay, then; Deron Johnson, Ron Stone, and Don Money each collected three hits. Johnny Callison drove ...

In his last start against the Padres, on June 15, Fryman had recorded a season-high 12 strikeouts en route to a 5-4 victory in San Diego. Philadelphia got to Sisk early in this one. Four batters into the game, he had allowed ...

San Diego struck early in this one. With two out in the first, Ollie Brown drew a walk. Nate Colbert followed with a single, and the streaking (.320/.433/.920 over his previous 12 games) Al Ferrara then doubled to center, scoring both runners and putting the Padres on top, 2-0. The Phillies answered with a run in the home half. Deron Johnson drove home Cookie Rojas, who had doubled earlier in the inning, with a sacrifice fly to Ferrara in left. The ...
