Jim Lonborg helped himself to his sixth straight victory and 10th of the season with the first grand-slam homer of his career as the Phillies pasted the Expos, 8-2. Staked to a 2-0 lead in the first on RBI singles by Mike Schmidt and Ron Hunt, Lonborg delivered his bases-loaded blast off Expo reliever Chuck Taylor's second pitch in the third.

Singles by Del Unser and Schmidt, fielder's choice and a balk by loser Mike Torrez were followed by a two-run base-hit by Willie Montanez, giving the Phils a 4-0 lead. Anderson's double and a walk to Bob Boone loaded the bases, and Lonborg hit his first homer since the 1970 season into the left field seats. Montreal tallied its runs in the fourth on Larry Lintz' single and a stolen base, Ken Singleton's double and Ron Fairly's single. [The Sporting News]
