Dick Allen drove in three runs with a pair of singles and the Phillies picked up four more runs on two outfield errors to defeat the Cardinals, 9-4. Allen's hits put the Phillies ahead, 3-2, one of the Cardinals' runs coming on a homer by Ted Simmons.

Steve Carlton hit a fly that Buddy Bradford dropped in the seventh inning, opening the way for three runs, two of them the unearned. Ken Rudolph homered with a man on base in the Cards' half, but an error by Luis Melendez on another Carlton fly in the eighth enabled the Phillies to add two more tainted tallies.
