Dick Ruthven pitched a two-hitter for the Phillies and Greg Luzinski knocked in the only run with a single in the eighth inning to defeat the Cardinals, 1-0. Luzinski grounded into a double play with the bases loaded in the first inning, but it was different in the eighth.

Bill Robinson led off with a single and Denny Doyle sacrificed. Bob Gibson then passed Del Unser intentionally in order to pitch to Luzinski, who crossed up the move by rapping his single. Ruthven retired the last 17 Cardinal batters in succession. [The Sporting News]
