The Phillies tied their club record for most homers in one game by hitting six while walloping the Cubs, 10-3. Tim McCarver had two homers plus two singles in the Phillies' 14-hit attack. Steve Carlton, who gained his 17th victory, also hit for the circuit, while other round-trippers came off the bats of Greg Luzinski, Jay Johnstone and Tommy Hutton.

Rick Reuschel, the Cubs' loser, had not allowed a homer in Wrigley Field since May 5 before McCarver started the Phils' slugging with his smash in the second inning. Ted Sizemore followed with a single and Carlton also hit for the circuit. In the third, Larry Bowa and Mike Schmidt singled ahead of Luzinski's homer and Johnstone continued the attack with a homer to kayo Reuschel, who suffered his first home defeat in 11 decisions this season. Pete Broberg gave up McCarver's second homer of the game in the fifth and a circuit clout by Hutton in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
