8 – Dick Ruthven (1973 – 1975, 1978 – 1983)
Ruthven had two stints in Philadelphia, pitching his second time around with the team. He was instrumental for the 1980 World Series championship team, but that doesn’t come into play for this list. He was a 13-game winner in 1978 with a 2.99 ERA and had 37 wins with a solid 3.88 ERA during the 1970’s in Philadelphia.
7 – Rick Wise (1964, 1967 – 1971)
Wise pitched only two seasons with the Phillies in the 1970’s but makes this list because of excellent 1971 season. He was an all-star and pitched a no-hitter en route to a 17 win season, 17 complete games, four shutouts and an ERA of 2.88. Wise was traded for Steve Carlton before the 1972 season and finished with 188 career wins in 18 seasons.
