Dave Roberts batted in three runs with a single and double to lead the Padres to a 5-2 victory over the Phillies in a game that saw two players ejected following a bat-throwing incident. Derrel Thomas of the Padres, facing Ron Schueler in the seventh inning, was brushed back. After swinging at the next pitch, Thomas' bat flew at the Phillies' hurler. Later Thomas claimed the bat "slipped" out of his hand. Thomas and catcher Jim Essian then became involved in a pushing match and both were thrown out of the game.

Dave Cash and Mike Schmidt hit homers for the Phillies. After Schmidt scored on an inside-the-park drive in the sixth, Willie McCovey walked in the Padres' half, Johnny Grubb singled and Roberts clinched the outcome by driving in both runners with a double. [The Sporting News]
