Jerry Martin hit his first major league homer, connecting with a man on base in the fourth inning, to put the Phillies ahead en route to an 8-6 victory over the Giants. The rookie outfielder's blow wiped out the Giants' 2-1 lead. The Phillies' first run was a homer by Mike Anderson, and Greg Luzinski made it 4-2 with a run-scoring grounder in the fifth.

The Giants picked up a tally in the sixth on a double by Jake Brown, an infield out and wild pitch, but the Phillies then erupted for four runs in the seventh, two scoring on a bases-loaded double by Mike Schmidt. Steve Carlton was the winner, but needed help from Tug McGraw in the ninth when the Giants rallied for three runs. [The Sporting News]
