The Phillies, who were held hitless in the first four innings, broke loose in the fifth to score all their runs for a 3-2 victory over the Expos. Tim Foli singled and Earl Williams homered for the Expos' pair in the fourth. Greg Luzinski and Dick Allen drew walks to open the Phillies' rally in the fifth. Ollie Brown singled for the first hit off Woodie Fryman to load the bases.

After Larry Bowa forced Luzinski at the plate, Allen scored when Bob Boone forced Bowa at second. Tony Taylor batted for Jim Lonborg and singled, driving in Brown with the tying tally. Garry Maddox then extended his batting streak to 10 games with a double to plate Boone with the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
