Steve Carlton, who helped himself at bat with a sacrifice fly that drove in the tie-breaking run, defeated the Dodgers, 3-1, to complete a Phillies' sweep of the three-game series. Carlton also had two hits in two official trips, giving him 6-for-8 in his last three games. The Dodgers used a pass to Ron Cey, an infield out and single by Glenn Burke for their run in the second inning.

Garry Maddox quickly tied the score with a homer in the Phillies' half. Tim McCarver, next up, walked and, after taking third on a single by Ted Sizemore, scored on Carlton's sacrifice fly. The Phils added an insurance run in the fifth on doubles by Larry Bowa and Richie Hebner. The crowd of 40,628 enabled the Phillies to set an attendance record of 138,313 for the three-game series.
