A triple by pinch-hitter Davey Johnson highlighted a five-run rally in the eighth inning as the Phillies came from behind to defeat the Expos, 7-5, for their 13th straight victory. Trailing, 5-2, the Phillies opened their rally with two runs on a pass to Tommy Hutton, singles by Bake McBride and Larry Bowa and a sacrifice fly by Mike Schmidt. After Greg Luzinski walked, Johnson hit his triple, driving in two runs and sending the Phillies ahead, 6-5. Bob Boone followed with a single to add an insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
