A ninth-inning single by Dick Allen scored Garry Maddox with the winning run as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 5-4. Maddox singled with one out, stole second and took third on Randy Moffitt's wild pickoff attempt. Greg Luzinski was intentionally passed before Allen's hit to left past a drawn-in infield.

The Giants had tied the score, 4-4, in the eighth on a three-run homer by Willie Montanez. The Phils scored twice in the second on Luzinski's homer and an RBI single by starting pitcher Tom Underwood. Luzinski's sacrifice fly made it 3-0 in the third. Gene Garber pitched a scoreless ninth for his ninth relief triumph. [The Sporting News]
