The two will miss a combined total of 197 games with both coming back in early September. Jim Hutto is hastily brought in to pinch hit and catch. The Phillies will call up the likes of Del Bates and Mike Compton and even use bullpen coach Doc Edwards‚ who will bat .269 in 35 games. Gaylord Perry is the CG winner‚ allowing a homer to Don Money. Willie McCovey has a double and homer for SF.
