Despite being in first place in the National League East, the Phillies fire manager Pat Corrales because the team is “not playing up to its potential.” GM Paul Owens will manage the club instead. In Owens’ first game, the Phils drop a 9 – 2 decision as the Astros shell Steve Carlton. It’s Lefty’s 11th loss of the year and drops the Phils into a tie for 2nd place with the Pirates. Owens will be successful in steering the Phils to a division title, however.
