A sacrifice fly by Bill Robinson in the 10th inning scored Willie Montanez and enabled the Phillies to finish third in the East Division with a 3-2 victory over the Mets. The Expos, whose scheduled game with the Cardinals was rained out, wound up fourth, one-half game behind the Phillies. The Mets, last season's division and pennant winners, trailed in fifth place.

The Mets scored both their runs in the second inning on a walk, triple by Duffy Dyer and squeeze bunt by Jon Matlack. The Phillies picked up a run on a sacrifice fly by Greg Luzinski in the third and tied the game in the fifth when Mike Schmidt singled, stole second and scored on a single by Luzinski. Schmidt drew a walk to open the 10th and was forced by Montanez. Ollie Brown singled, sending Montanez to third, and Robinson followed with his sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
