A homer by Tony Perez with two men on base in the eighth inning enabled the Expos to defeat the Phillies, 9-8. Ellis Valentine batted in three runs for the Expos with a double in the fourth and Perez accounted for an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the sixth before the Phillies rallied to take an 8-6 lead in the seventh inning on a homer by Mike Schmidt and two-run double by Bob Boone.
