9/14/83:

Mike Schmidt's 2-run 9th inning home run, his 40th of the season, punctuated a 5-1 Phillies win. John Denny went the distance, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk while fanning 7 and upping his record to 24-6. His ERA is 2.13.

Jeff Russell (6-11) took the loss for Cincinnati. It's interesting to note that he went the distance too and threw 130 pitches in the process. I can't see that happening in today's game.

We're 11 games up on the Cardinals and have clinched the NL East. Virtual champagne flowed in the clubhouse. We're the first team to clinch, although the Astros won't be far behind us, since they're 10 up in the NL West.

Over in the AL, Toronto has extended its lead over the Yankees to 5 games, while the White Sox are now 8 up on the A's and Rangers.
